Is Man long lasting?
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 Libre Yves Saint Laurent and Parfums De Marly Percival last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
