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. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like sandalwood and vanilla 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. Its fresh spicy side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Coty Vanilla Musk has more depth.
Best season for Grey
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
