Is Masque Mandala 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. Amouage Overture Man Edp 100Ml and Yves Saint Laurent Opium last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Masque Milano Mandala Oud unisex lasts about 9 to 12 hours. Base notes like myrrh and ambergris are the part that stays longest on the skin.
When in the day to wear Masque Mandala
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
