A closer look at Etienne Aigner No 1 Oud EDP
No 1 Oud EDP comes from Etienne Aigner. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €62, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Armaf Club de Nuit Intense but less than Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Santal Royal unisex and Mancera Black Gold.
Best season for No 1 Oud
It is at its best in winter and fall. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
When in the day to wear No 1 Oud
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad is a lighter match.
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 Guerlain Les Absolus d'Orient Santal Royal unisex and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad. Base notes like agarwood (oud) and leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.
