Is La Chanson long lasting?
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. Yves Saint Laurent Opium lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
