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. Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety and Jil Sander #4 last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and peach are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
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. For daytime, Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety is a lighter match.
