Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Lattafa Velvet Oud and Mugler A*Men spread further.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Lattafa Velvet Oud and Mugler A*Men last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like tonka bean and incense are the part that stays longest on the skin.
