A closer look at Accendis Aclus EDP
Accendis is the house behind Aclus EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. For evenings, Houbigant Bois Mystique has more depth.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Roja Dove Roja Elysium Parfum and Houbigant Bois Mystique. Base notes like agarwood (oud) and gurjan balsam are the part that stays longest on the skin.
