Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Yves Saint Laurent Libre Yves Saint Laurent spreads further.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Lattafa Najdia and Yves Saint Laurent Libre Yves Saint Laurent last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Blue 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.
