How long Blue Sugar stays on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. It lasts about as long as Mugler A*Men and Gisada Ambassador Intense. Base notes like star anise and tonka bean are the part that stays longest on the skin.
