Will people notice Skarb?
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Yves Saint Laurent Y and Lacoste.
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. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Yves Saint Laurent Y is a lighter match.
How long Skarb stays 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 Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. It lasts longer than Yves Saint Laurent Y. Base notes like amber and ambroxan are the part that stays longest on the skin.
