The usual price in Europe is about €46. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Elizabeth Taylor Passion and Gianni Versace L'Homme but less than Dior Poison.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Dior Poison and Giorgio Group Giorgio Black last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like oakmoss and amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Dior Poison and Giorgio Group Giorgio Black spread further.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Gianni Versace L'Homme is a lighter match.
