L'Occitane EDT in detail
L'Occitane EDT carries the name of its own house. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €75. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Shiseido Zen but less than Initio Parfums Prives Initio Musk Therapy.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance.
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. Initio Parfums Prives Initio Musk Therapy lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and white musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
L'Occitane for work or evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
