Is Givenchy long lasting?
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. Guerlain Vetiver Guerlain and Dior Fahrenheit last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like white musk and vetiver are the part that stays longest on the skin.
