A closer look at Giorgio Group Giorgio Colonia Intense EDP
Giorgio Group is the house behind Giorgio Colonia Intense EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
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 Meydan lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
