Who will like it
The strongest accord is white floral (100%), followed by woody and aldehydic. You will probably like it if you enjoy white floral and woody smells and notes like mint and musk. Less obvious notes include neroli, pepper and vanilla. Perfume fans rate it 3.92 out of 5.
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. Parfums De Marly Layton and Mont Blanc Individuel last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like musk and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
