How far Oud Tonic spreads
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Prada Amber.
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 Meydan and The Spirit Of Dubai Durra last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and agarwood (oud) are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Prada Amber has more depth.
