Sophia longevity
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Fine'ry. The New Rouge Fine'ry. and Hubert De Montandon Sometimes In The Morning last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
