When in the day to wear Pur Kinkan
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.
Is Pur Kinkan your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is citrus (100%), followed by gourmand and aromatic. You will probably like it if you enjoy citrus and gourmand smells and notes like bitter orange and amber. Less obvious notes include grapefruit, pear and mimosa. Perfume fans rate it 3.99 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. The Spirit Of Dubai Bahar Spray Perfume and Guerlain Vetiver Guerlain last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. The Spirit Of Dubai Bahar Spray Perfume and Dior Fahrenheit spread further.
