How does Ruby perform in terms of longevity throughout the day?+−
Ruby is known for having significant staying power, often lasting up to 12 hours on the skin. Its high natural oil concentration ensures that it transitions slowly from its spicy cola opening into a long-lasting, creamy wood and ambergris base.
Is this fragrance suitable for office or daily wear?+−
Most users find Ruby better suited for evening occasions, leisure, or night-outs due to its richness and smoky-sweet complexity. While it can be worn daily in cooler weather, its potent sillage might be too intense for a traditional business environment.
Does the oud in Ruby smell "animalic" or "funky"?+−
The blend of Assam, Borneo, and Indonesian ouds in Ruby is described as smooth and resinous rather than animalic. It provides a deep, woody foundation that supports the spice and cola notes without being overwhelming or harsh.
Is Ruby a masculine or feminine fragrance?+−
It is classified as a unisex fragrance for men and women. It balances traditionally masculine notes like rum, smoke, and oud with feminine-leaning elements like red frangipani, ylang-ylang, and sweet Bourbon vanilla, making it appeal to anyone who enjoys spicy-woody scents.
