Black Walnut Legend: day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
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. Gianni Versace Dylan Blue and Lattafa Velvet Oud last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and black leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Lattafa Velvet Oud and Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady spread further.
