About Histoires De Parfums Rare Rosam EDP
Histoires De Parfums is the house behind Rare Rosam EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Is Rare Rosam your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is rose (100%), followed by warm spicy and oud. You will probably like it if you enjoy rose and warm spicy smells and notes like taif rose and agarwood (oud). Less obvious notes include incense and sandalwood. Perfume fans rate it 3.91 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
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. It lasts about as long as Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady and Lattafa Velvet Oud. Base notes like agarwood (oud) and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.

How far Rare Rosam spreads
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
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 warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad is a lighter match.
