About Alexandre J Rose Oud EDP
Rose Oud EDP comes from Alexandre J. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. 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 Amaali and Electimuss Rhodanthe. Base notes like musk and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.

When in the day to wear Rose Oud
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its sweet side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Swiss Arabian Amaali is a lighter match.
Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €110, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Swiss Arabian Amaali but less than Electimuss Rhodanthe.

The strongest accord is rose (100%), followed by woody and sweet. You will probably like it if you enjoy rose and woody smells and notes like rose and musk. Less obvious notes include lemon, saffron and amber. Perfume fans rate it 3.75 out of 5.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is strong. People around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Swiss Arabian Amaali.
