When in the day to wear In Black
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.

Its sillage is strong. People around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Liz Claiborne Curve and Goldfield & Banks Sunset Hour.
How long In Black stays on skin
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. The Spirit Of Dubai Bahar and Cacharel Eden last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
