Faberge Brut EDT in detail
Brut EDT is made by Faberge. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
Brut longevity
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. Azzaro and Lacoste last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like oakmoss and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
