A closer look at Salvatore Ferragamo Oud EDP
Oud EDP comes from Salvatore Ferragamo. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
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 Bvlgari Man In Black and Francesca Bianchi Sticky Fingers. Base notes like guaiac wood and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Oud price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €109. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Bvlgari Man In Black.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is winter and fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Francesca Bianchi Sticky Fingers and Les Indemodables Vanille Havane unisex spread further.
