Alexander Mcqueen Mcqueen EDP in detail
Mcqueen EDP is made by Alexander Mcqueen. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Giorgio Group Giorgio Rouge and Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vetiver are the part that stays longest on the skin.
