Killer Oud sillage
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. Amouage Interlude and Yves Saint Laurent Opium spread further.
Killer Oud longevity
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 Interlude and Yves Saint Laurent Opium last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like oud and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
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 amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
