Viva Rock sillage
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Montale Paris Roses Musk and Van Cleef & Arpels First spread further.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Montale Paris Roses Musk and Van Cleef & Arpels First last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and orris root are the part that stays longest on the skin.
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. For evenings, Montale Paris Roses Musk has more depth.
