Prime Collection Barraqa Al Oud Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray L'Occitane en Provence Closer to a scent companionOud sits at the centre that deep, animalic wood that smells of old resin and leather. Barraqa Al Oud doesn't soften it; instead, it frames it with spice and amber so the thing that catches your attention is the presence, not the prettiness. Men's EDP, 100ml. Four to five hours on skin, longer on clothes and hair. Two sprays is the opener; a third if you're wearing it into evening.
