looked interesting for the price but if poor longevity then why?

Yes…this smells wonderful…and then we have to add the “buts” and “howevers” to the mix…lol.
This has a wonderful saffron/thyme/wood opening..and I guess the so-called Oud is in there too…BUT..not all that apparent to my nose…HOWEVER….in the drying down phase you get a touch of the rose/floral vibe,tho it is subtle.The drydown reminds me of other scents that have been around…which makes this not unique…BUT..it does smell good !! HOWEVER….sadly…I wish the oomphy blast you get in the opening stayed around longer !!! And yes..yes…you have to re-apply this one to keep it really “going”….which should be no problem, since you’ll have a big…heavy…200ml bottle…that will last a long time….and also…you can take out a window with the bottle…LOL….I got this for $10 bucks at Marshall’s ….not bad at all for this price..

Bois & Or by Pascal Morabito is a light, subtle Oriental cologne, ideal for a first approach to Oud fragrances.
This is a very nice cologne but a very light one as well.
It seems to have an EDC concentration, although it says EDT.
I love the scent. It’s a very pleasant Oriental fragrance. It’s not intrusive. Its subtlilness will get you some compliments even from non oud lovers.
Main features and some comments:
– Low performance – Less than 4~5 hours longevity with 3 sprays; One arm lenght sillage at the most; It projects for 1~1.5 hours.
– Nice inexpensive price – 200ml bottle – €13.50
– Very alluring and with very nice notes as far as I am concerned: Top notes are saffron and thyme; middle notes are rose and frankincense; base notes are cambodian oud and sandalwood.
– You need at least 6~8 sprays on skin to beat the low performance.
– You should spray twice in your clothes as well.
Spray the juice prodigally to get a decent or at least an acceptable performance with this fragrance. The amount of compliments is far superior from what you may expect with such an inexpensive cologne. The scent and size is similar to Eau de Cartier Essence de Bois (EDC) but for one third of the price.
My overall rating: 7.0~7.5/10.0
Note: If Pascal Morabito would double the performance to a trully EDT or EDP concentration, I would rate it 8.5/10.0.

You are quite right.
This is a very nice fragrance but very light.
It seems an EDC although it says EDT.
I love the scent.
A couple of comments and advices:
– low performance
– nice inexpensive price – 200ml bottle
– damned fantastic notes
– you need at least 12 sprays
– wou must spray 4 times in your clothes
The big 200 ml bottle is so inexpensive that you may spray the juice freely. This way you will get an acceptable performance with this very alluring fragrance.

Wearing this for the first time today. Has none of the same notes as my beloved Or Black, but there is a definite similarity and the Morabito DNA is definitely there. My one gripe is that it vanishes pretty quickly. And, that’s coming from someone who leans away from beast mode scents and toward skin scents. I NEVER reapply anything, but this one I felt I needed to.
