This fragrance opens with woody top notes, leading to a heart of raspberry, and settles into a base of amber, birch, cedar, moss, patchouli, tonka, vanilla, and vetiver. It is suitable for both men and women seeking a sophisticated scent. Product Overview 1878 Prestige Oud by Atralia is an evocative unisex fragrance that balances the richness of wood with a vibrant fruity undertone. Priced at 40 pounds, it offers an elevated experience for those seeking an approachable entry into deep, resinous compositions. Scent Profile The fragrance leads with a structural woody accord that quickly gives way to a distinctive raspberry heart note. This sweetness provides a necessary counterpoint to the dense, smoky base of birch and cedar, while tonka and vanilla add a subtle creaminess to the finish. Technical Structure and Development The composition transitions from a sharp opening into a smooth, leathery middle ground. As the fragrance dries down, the vetiver and moss emerge to provide a grounded, earthy finish that anchors the lighter amber and patchouli elements. Performance This fragrance offers impressive longevity of 8 to 10 hours on the skin with significant projection for the first few hours. The sillage is considerable, leaving a sophisticated trail of smoky sweetness that remains noticeable throughout the day. Wear Scenarios - Formal evening events that require a scent with a commanding and luxurious presence - Cold winter nights when the smoky and woody notes can truly flourish - Black tie gatherings where a bold statement piece is desired - Intimate social occasions that call for a warm and inviting olfactory profile Scent Family Positioning Categorised as an amber woody fragrance, this release sits firmly within the contemporary oriental tradition.
