David Beckham is the house behind Instinct Gold Edition EDC. It comes as Eau de Cologne.
Is Instinct Gold Edition long lasting?
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. Azzaro and Dolce&Gabbana K by Dolce & Gabbana last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and vetiver are the part that stays longest on the skin.
