How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Azzaro and Essential Parfums Bois Imperial unisex spread further.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner.
