How long Heritage stays on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama 2018 unisex lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like sandalwood and agarwood (oud) are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Heritage: day or night?
