Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. Yves Saint Laurent Opium spreads further.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is amber (100%), followed by woody and balsamic. You will probably like it if you enjoy amber and woody smells and notes like incense and resin. Less obvious notes include neroli, gardenia and cedar.
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. Yves Saint Laurent Opium and The Spirit Of Dubai Turath last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like resin and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Olibanum Gardenia: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
