Summer for Men through the year
The best time of year to wear it is spring and fall. It is less suited to winter. Ranked by season: spring, fall, summer and winter. If you need something for winter, Mont Blanc Individuel is a better fit. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Mont Blanc Individuel and Jil Sander #4 last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Burberry Brit Summer for Men lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Coty Vanilla Musk has more depth.
