Which Should You Buy?
Thierry Wasser's resin-saffron-leather oud for Les Absolus d'Orient - Western-tailored Arabian oud done right, with bone-dry agarwood, smoky olibanum and a leather-rose backbone. The polished niche oud Western buyers reach for.
If you've ever yearned for the rich, ancient scent of a church incense, then Prosperous is your holy grail. It's gloriously unique and authentically spiritual, though perhaps a bit much for those not seeking a transcendental experience daily.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Fragrantica voters split 100% winter, 88.9% fall - the resinous oud-leather-incense composition is firmly cold-weather. Summer at 18.3% is the weakest fit because the smoky depth feels oppressive in heat.
Occasions
Night-coded at 90.1% of voters - the leather-incense-oud profile is firmly evening wear. Formal occasions and date nights where statement projection is welcome are the natural setting; office is risky on more than a single light spray; casual is weaker fit.
Seasons
Occasions
This scent's strong, distinctive aromatic and balsamic notes, coupled with its moderate sillage, make it a bit too prominent for the office. It's better suited for formal occasions or intimate evenings where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming others.
