Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €152, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Lattafa Velvet Oud and Etat Libre D' Orange Etat Libre d'Orange Rien.
Man 2 longevity
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. The Spirit of Dubai Baz unisex lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like incense and mahogany are the part that stays longest on the skin.
