Is this considered a masculine or feminine fragrance?+−
CoExistence is marketed as a unisex fragrance. The floral heart of rose and jasmine leans traditional, but the inclusion of Cambodian oud and a woody base provides a structural depth that appeals to all genders.
How does the performance of this fragrance compare to other luxury brands?+−
Consistent with the house's reputation, this scent offers high performance. It features significant staying power on the skin and can remain on clothing for days, often outlasting lighter brands like Byredo or Jo Malone.
In which seasons does this fragrance perform best?+−
It is most effective during the spring and fall. The osmanthus and bergamot shine in cooler air, while the vanilla and oud provide enough warmth to withstand a chill without becoming cloying in mild humidity.
Is the oud note very aggressive in this composition?+−
The Cambodian oud used here is more woody and structural than "barnyard" or extremely polarizing. It serves primarily to add weight to the vanilla and florals, making it accessible even to those new to oud-based scents.
