Performance & Wear Guide

• Longevity: 10–13 hours on skin.
• Projection: Strong in the first hour, settling to moderate by hour 3. Projects confidently without being aggressive.
• Sillage: Moderate to strong. Expect a noticeable trail in the first half of the wearing.
• Best Seasons: Fall and winter. Too heavy for warm weather unless applied very conservatively.
• Occasions: Evening events, formal occasions, cool-weather wear. Not for daytime summer office use.
• Application Tips: 2 sprays maximum. Oud amplifies on body heat. Chest application works better than wrists for darker fragrances of this type.
• Dry-Down Arc: Spicy opening transitions to an oud/amber heart by 30–45 minutes. The dry-down settles to a warm resinous base that persists for hours.
