Who will like it
The strongest accord is woody (100%), followed by fruity and aromatic. You will probably like it if you enjoy woody and fruity smells and notes like rose and agarwood (oud). Less obvious notes include saffron, cedar and vetiver. Perfume fans rate it 3.96 out of 5.
How long Oud Noir stays 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 agarwood (oud) and guaiac wood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
