About Floraiku The Mountain Standing Still EDP
Floraiku is the house behind The Mountain Standing Still EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
The Mountain Standing Still through the year
The best time of year to wear it is summer and spring. It is less suited to fall. Ranked by season: summer, spring, winter and fall. If you need something for fall, Lattafa Velvet Oud is a better fit.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Dior Purple Oud and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud spread further.
Floraiku perfumes worth knowing
The house has 23 perfumes here, led by Sand and Skin Floraiku unisex, AO Floraiku unisex and Levitating Floraiku unisex.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €117. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Lattafa Velvet Oud but less than Dior Purple Oud and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud.
When in the day to wear The Mountain Standing Still
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its oud side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Dior Purple Oud is a lighter match.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Dior Purple Oud and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
