Al Wataniah Oud Mystery Intense EDP in detail
Oud Mystery Intense EDP comes from Al Wataniah. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
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.
