Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Lancôme Variety is a lighter match.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Lancôme Variety and Slava Zaitsev Maroussia spread further.
Its style
The strongest accord is white floral (100%), followed by amber and sweet. You will probably like it if you enjoy white floral and amber smells and notes like ylang-ylang and amber. Less obvious notes include jasmine and vanilla. Perfume fans rate it 3.81 out of 5.
Navy longevity
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Lancôme Variety and Slava Zaitsev Maroussia last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and cinnamon are the part that stays longest on the skin.
