About Fragrance Du Bois New York Intense EDP

New York Intense: day or night?
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last.

Base notes like myrrh and agarwood (oud) are the part that stays longest on the skin.
