Longevity on skin
It fades fairly fast, after about less than 1 hour on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety and Nino Cerruti 1881 last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
