Gritti Noctem Arabs EDP in detail
Gritti is the house behind Noctem Arabs EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its oud side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Noctem Arabs 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. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and myrrh are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €172, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs less than The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan and Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience.
