Hour price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €131. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Xerjoff V Accento and Chanel Chance but less than Sospiro Accento.
Hour: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its sweet side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Chanel Chance is a lighter match.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Xerjoff V Accento and Chanel Chance. Base notes like patchouli and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
