Swedoft perfumes worth knowing
This house has 21 perfumes on iPerfume. The most popular ones are X Oud, Rasputin and Cambodian Oud.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last.
