Chypre sillage
Projection is very strong: it fills the room. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Tom Ford Eau De Soleil Blanc and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme Extrait de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Tom Ford Eau De Soleil Blanc and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Amyris Homme Extrait de Parfum last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like tonka bean and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is amber (100%), followed by gourmand and vanilla. You will probably like it if you enjoy amber and gourmand smells and notes like orange blossom and tonka bean. Less obvious notes include narcissus and vanilla. Perfume fans rate it 4.01 out of 5.
Chypre through the year
The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
