About Ted Lapidus Silk Way EDP
Ted Lapidus is the house behind Silk Way EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
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. Mancera Red Tobacco and Lattafa Velvet Oud last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like incense and Bourbon vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Mancera Red Tobacco and Lattafa Velvet Oud spread further.
Ted Lapidus perfumes worth knowing
This house has 23 perfumes on iPerfume. The most popular ones are Oud Blanc, Orissima Divine and Cool Night.
Silk Way through the year

Silk Way price and value
