Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Musk price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €26. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Yves Saint Laurent Kouros and Gianni Versace Blue Jeans.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros and Karl Lagerfeld Lagerfeld last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and tonka bean are the part that stays longest on the skin.
