Nusuk Maktoob Cologne

Questions and Answers

Q: How does Nusuk Maktoob smell?

A: The notes for this cologne are not available. However, it was released by a perfume house known for rich, luxurious orientals.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration?

A: Nusuk Maktoob is an Eau De Parfum with a perfume oil concentration of 15-20%. With this concentration, it is a stronger scent.

Q: Is Nusuk Maktoob for him or her?

A: This cologne has been marketed as a traditional oriental fragrance for men. However, orientals are popular with both sexes. Anyone can wear this scent, provided they enjoy strong spices and rich layerings of notes. Colognes of this type usually announce their presence in a small room.

Q: Does Maktoob last long?

A: Eau de Parfums, or EDPs, tend to last a long time thanks to the higher concentration of perfume oil. You can reasonably expect five to seven hours from one application. Your results will depend upon your body chemistry, the weather, the environment and how you choose to apply it. Spraying it on your clothing or hair increases longevity.

Q: What season should I wear Maktoob?

A: Orientals are perfect for colder weather. Late autumn is a good time to switch to your favorite oriental fragrance and continue to wear it through the winter. There's something about the spicy, musky quality that lends itself to evenings spent by the fire bundled up in sweaters while drinking hot toddies.

Q: Where can I buy it?

A: Perfume.com is perhaps one of the best online fragrance retailers because we offer the widest selection of authentic perfumes and colognes, competitive pricing, and top-notch customer service.
