Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Lattafa Pride Peace & Love and Lancôme Variety spread further.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Lattafa Pride Peace & Love and Jil Sander Sun last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vanilla and heliotrope are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Chic for work or evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Jil Sander Sun has more depth.
