About Capucci De Capucci EDP
De Capucci EDP carries the name of its own house. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
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.

Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
