A closer look at Carolina Herrera Oud Couture EDP
Carolina Herrera is the house behind Oud Couture EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Oud Couture for work or evenings
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. For evenings, Tom Ford Oud Fleur unisex has more depth.
Its style
The strongest accord is rose (100%), followed by oud and floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy rose and oud smells and notes like benzoin and benzoin. Less obvious notes include saffron and oud.
Oud Couture longevity
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 Tom Ford Oud Fleur unisex and Lattafa Velvet Oud. Base notes like benzoin and incense are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is strong. People around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
Which weather suits it
