How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like oakmoss and civetta are the part that stays longest on the skin.
