Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Is Dry Wood 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. Amouage Opus Xiv Royal Tobacco lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like crystal amber and vetiver are the part that stays longest on the skin.
