Is Adventure long lasting?
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Tom Ford Oud Wood. Base notes like tonka bean and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Chanel Allure Sport is a lighter match.

The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
