Season and Occasion Fit

Oud Velvet

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With significant sillage in the first two hours and a 6-8 hour longevity mentioned, this bold, oud-heavy scent is too strong for office wear. Its rich, sensual accords make it ideal for date nights and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime use.

The Dawn

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The rich and intense notes of oud and frankincense make The Dawn suitable for cooler months and transitions in spring and fall.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its rich, luxurious composition is fitting for formal events and sophisticated date nights, less so for casual or sporty settings.
