Is Soir d'Orient a very sweet rose perfume?+−
No, the rose in this fragrance is not sweet or jammy. It is a Turkish rose absolute that feels spicy and botanical, particularly when blended with black pepper and geranium, giving it a more mature and sophisticated floral character.
How does this perform throughout the day?+−
This fragrance is known for its high intensity and excellent longevity. It tends to stay on the skin for many hours, starting with a bright, spicy projection and slowly drying down into a persistent woody-incense skin scent.
Can this be worn in the summertime?+−
While it can be worn year-round by those who prefer heady scents, most people find it a bit too heavy for high heat. It is statistically most popular during the autumn and winter months or for evening occasions.
How does the incense note come across?+−
The Somalian frankincense provides a smoky, resinous quality that avoids being "churchy." Instead, it adds a layer of mysterious, airy cleanliness that balances the heavier sandalwood and patchouli in the base.
