About Blend Oud Sapphire EDP
Sapphire EDP is made by Blend Oud. Its strength is 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. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood Extrait de parfum unisex lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vanilla and agarwood (oud) are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far Sapphire spreads
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood Extrait de parfum unisex spreads further.

For work or for evenings
