Which weather suits it
It is at its best in winter. It is less suited to spring. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, summer and spring. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. The Spirit Of Dubai Turath lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.

Its sillage is strong. People around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Jil Sander Sun.

Day or night?
