Rosendo Mateu Fresh Oud EDP in detail

Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan spread further.
Is Fresh 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. It lasts longer than Tom Ford Oud Wood. Base notes like leather and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.

When in the day to wear Fresh Oud
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
