Blue Diamond Oud sillage
Projection is very strong: it fills the room. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Lattafa Velvet Oud and Nest Golden Nectar.
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. It lasts longer than Nest Golden Nectar. Base notes like incense and caramel are the part that stays longest on the skin.
