- Is Absolue Oud Bouquet more rose or more oud?
- Rose leads at first, with warm spices on top. Oud and vanilla take over in the base, so the dry-down is woodier and sweeter than the opening.
- How long does it last?
- Most wearers get about 6 to 8 hours on skin, longer on clothing. Projection is strong, so one or two sprays is usually enough.
- Is it unisex?
- Yes. It is marketed to women but the rose-oud-vanilla structure wears well on anyone who likes sweet woody scents.
- When should I wear it?
- Fall and winter, mostly evenings. It is heavy for hot weather and can overwhelm a small office.
- Is it cruelty-free?
- Yes, Lancôme lists it as cruelty-free with no animal testing.
- How does it compare with other Lancôme ouds?
- It is the sweetest and most gourmand of the Maison Lancôme oud line, with praline and vanilla pushing it toward dessert territory rather than a dry, medicinal oud.
