FAQ
Is oud always very intense?
No. There are clean/airy versions that are also perfect for daytime; the classics are darker and more persistent, ideal for evening and special occasions.
Oud and office: is it too much?
Choose modern versions or light doses (2 sprays). Alternatively, combine with clean musks to reduce the sillage.
EDP or Extrait?
The Extrait offers greater concentration, sillage and persistence; the EDP is often more versatile and luminous.
