Best season for Rose Wood
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
How long Rose Wood stays 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 about as long as Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad and Al Wataniah Bareeq Al Dhahab. Base notes like agarwood (oud) and woody notes are the part that stays longest on the skin.
