Louis Cardin Safar Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Zadig & Voltaire The middle settles into oud

The middle settles into oud and cedar

Skip if you prefer the invisible-mist thing

Good for evenings when you want something that stays close rather than announces itself across the room

less for sitting in an open-plan office where it'll be noticed

but it sinks in rather than coating

Louis Cardin Safar Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Zadig & Voltaire The middle settles into oudSafar opens with cardamom and saffron warm spice that sits between kitchen and incense, no synthetic sharpness. The base is oud and leather, so it lands closer to a desert traveller than a cologne counter. For him, 100ml EDP. Three sprays hold through the working day; reapply in the evening if you want the presence back. Sits well under a coat without suffocating.
