Official description says the oud grows in intensity but gives no duration or measurable projection claim. Customer comments on that page are not brand claims. External Parfumo scores are subjective 0–10 ratings, not hours or measured projection distance. Checked 2026-09-22.

APG visitor reports

Longevity: No approved longevity reports yet.

First-hour projection: No approved projection reports yet.

Compare like with like: an external score out of 10 is not an hour estimate. Sillage describes the scent trail; APG projection describes distance from the wearer. “Up to” is a brand’s upper claim, not a guaranteed wear time. These reports are subjective, not controlled tests.
