How It Performs
This oil formulation utilizes a high concentration of fixatives and heavy molecular weight base notes to ensure technical stability. The absence of an ethanol carrier eliminates the initial volatile spike, resulting in a linear evaporation curve. On human skin, the sillage is moderate to heavy, maintaining a consistent 1.5-meter radius for the first 4 hours. Total longevity on the epidermis is 10-12 hours, while the molecular stability on textile fibers exceeds 24 hours.
Best Times to Wear
The chemical profile of this oil is optimized for temperatures between 10°C and 22°C. It is a high-performance choice for evening social settings and professional office environments during Autumn and Winter. The high concentration of vanillin and synthetic musk provides a dense olfactory bubble that remains intact in low-humidity environments.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 98% analytical match to the 2000 original formulation. | Lacks the initial alcohol-driven projection blast. |
| Superior skin-to-oil binding for 12-hour wear. | Can be heavy if applied in temperatures above 30°C. |
| Free from synthetic fillers and harsh solvents. | Requires 30 seconds to settle on the skin. |
How It Compares
While the original EDT relies on a rapid diffusion of top notes through 80% alcohol volume, this oil uses a lipid-based delivery system. This achieves a smoother transition from the citric top notes into the woody heart. We utilize Hedione to maintain the transparency of the rose note and Iso E Super to enhance the diffusion of the teak wood accord, ensuring the scent profile remains identical throughout the dry-down phase.
