Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Edt 1 and Parfums De Marly Layton spread further.
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 Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner.
