Sceptre EDP comes from Thameen. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Is Sceptre your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is amber (100%), followed by warm spicy and sweet. You will probably like it if you enjoy amber and warm spicy smells and notes like peach and myrrh. Less obvious notes include coriander, wisteria and ambergris. Perfume fans rate it 3.95 out of 5.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €175. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense but less than The Spirit Of Dubai Turath.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense.
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. The Spirit Of Dubai Turath lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like myrrh and amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
