Yes. Several long-lasting perfumes are available on GBO, such as Initio Oud for Greatness (oud, saffron, nutmeg) and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir (amber, labdanum, vanilla). These rich, resinous compositions offer strong base notes and good longevity on skin.
Are niche perfumes more expensive in the UK?
Niche perfumes are usually more expensive due to premium ingredients and limited production, but GBO offers them at discounted prices, making them far more accessible
Can perfume notes change on different skin types?
Yes. Body chemistry, skin pH, and moisture levels can change how a perfume develops, which is why the same scent can smell sweeter or warmer on different people; GBO always recommends testing fragrances on your own skin for the most accurate result.
