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.
Ile Pourpre for work or evenings

Who will like it
The strongest accord is musky (100%), followed by amber and woody. You will probably like it if you enjoy musky and amber smells and notes like fig and ambroxan. Less obvious notes include shiso, fenugreek and cashmeran. Perfume fans rate it 3.82 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 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 Durra unisex and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like ambroxan and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
