Jeanne Arthes Sultane Oud Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray Britney Spears the middle settles into muguetOud is the backbone that resinous, almost leathery note that smells older than it is. Jeanne Arthes tempers it with rose and amber, so it reads as dressed up rather than austere, with a whisper of vanilla underneath that catches on clothes more than skin. For her, 100ml EDP. Four to six hours from skin, considerably longer if you spray it on fabric. Two sprays is the sensible opening; a third if you're heading somewhere you want to make an impression.
