Is Enigma long lasting?
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 Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. It lasts longer than Rabanne 1 Million Cologne Paco. Base notes like patchouli and leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.
