How far Barenia spreads
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Kilian Woman In Gold spreads further.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Dior Gris Dior and Kilian Woman In Gold. Base notes like patchouli and akigalawood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is woody (100%), followed by patchouli and warm spicy. You will probably like it if you enjoy woody and patchouli smells and notes like white ginger lily and patchouli. Less obvious notes include oak. Perfume fans rate it 3.90 out of 5.
Barenia price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €92. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Dior Gris Dior and Kilian Woman In Gold but less than Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'Homme Yves Saint Laurent Le Parfum and Yves Saint Laurent Y Intense.
