Opal sillage
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
Opal longevity
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. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cypriol and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
