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. Laurent Mazzone Parfums Sensual Orchid and Profumum Roma Dolce Acqua last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
