Zeste d'Orange & Oud 50ml

I wore this to a dinner party and got asked twice what I had on—that woody heart clings for hours without turning cloying, even on my skin. The 50ml bottle feels sturdy in my hand, and one spray under the collar was plenty.

The spice opening hits you first, sharp and alive, then settles into that deep, smoky wood that clings to my scarf for two days straight. I’ve gotten three compliments from strangers since I started wearing it, which never happens with my other perfumes.

I was hesitant about the woody heart being too heavy for everyday wear, but it settles into something surprisingly warm and sophisticated. The 50ml bottle has lasted me two months of daily use, which feels like solid value.
