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. Lacoste and Yves Saint Laurent Libre Yves Saint Laurent last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and cashmere wood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
