Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €476. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Zara Magnificent Black and Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Zara Magnificent Black and Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo Epices Patchouli Yves Saint Laurent.
How long Prive Cuir Amethyste 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. It lasts about as long as Amouage Outlands and Zara Magnificent Black. Base notes like benzoin and labdanum are the part that stays longest on the skin.
