Artisan Oud Extrait de Parfum

Artisan Oud Extrait de Parfum by Anfar is catalogued as a fragrance. At extrait strength it carries the heaviest oil load of the family, so it sits close to the skin and outlasts the lighter versions — a dab does the work of several sprays. A spray on clothing or in the hair lasts longer than one on skin, though it can shift the balance of the scent and mark delicate fabrics. A discounted listing is only a saving if it is the same size and edition as the one beside it. Heat and light are what spoil a fragrance, not age — stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps its character for a long time. The cheapest listing is not automatically the best deal: delivery and any code applied at checkout decide that.
