How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Roja Dove Roja Oceania lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like oak and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €38, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and Roja Dove Roja Oceania.
