Who will like it
The strongest accord is oud (100%), followed by amber and leather. You will probably like it if you enjoy oud and amber smells and notes like Damask rose and agarwood. Less obvious notes include saffron, orange blossom and ambergris. Perfume fans rate it 3.93 out of 5.
For work or for evenings
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.
Is Intense Oud long lasting?
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. Ahmed Al Maghribi Zumar and Ahmed Al Maghribi Patchouli last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like agarwood and leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.
