A closer look at Royal Crown My Oud EDP
My Oud EDP is made by Royal Crown. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
Which weather suits My Oud
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
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. Xerjoff Join The Club More Than Words and The Spirit of Dubai Diwan unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like agarwood (oud) and ambergris are the part that stays longest on the skin.
My Oud: day or night?
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.
Other Royal Crown perfumes
The house has 23 perfumes here, led by Ytzma, Nocturna and Tabac Royal.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €372. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Xerjoff Join The Club More Than Words and Lattafa Velvet Oud.
