How long The Virgin Violet stays on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Le Labo Iris 39 unisex and Guerlain L'Heure Bleue last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like iris and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. For daytime, Nino Cerruti 1881 is a lighter match.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €390. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Guerlain L'Heure Bleue and Nino Cerruti 1881.
The Virgin Violet sillage
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Le Labo Iris 39 unisex and Guerlain L'Heure Bleue spread further.
