Who will like Sylva
The strongest accord is aromatic (100%), followed by woody and earthy. You will probably like it if you enjoy aromatic and woody smells and notes like fern and benzoin. Less obvious notes include grapefruit, incense and oakmoss. Perfume fans rate it 3.97 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
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. Lacoste and Francesca Bianchi Etruscan Water last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like benzoin and moss are the part that stays longest on the skin.
