Is this a spray or an oil?

It is a concentrated perfume oil, applied with a dab or applicator rather than sprayed. Expect a thicker feel and slower, longer development on skin.

How does it compare with a typical rose-oud spray?

It is denser and more resinous, with a stronger earthy agarwood core. Mainstream rose-oud sprays are lighter and more wearable for daily use.

One or two small dabs on pulse points is enough. The oil is potent, and over-applying makes the herbal and woody notes overwhelming.

Yes. The rose and herbal notes keep it from being purely masculine, though the heavy oud base appeals more to experienced wearers of either sex.

It is better in cool weather or evenings. In heat the dense oud and herb blend can feel heavy and cloying.
