How long Crystal Saffron stays on skin
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Montale Paris Aoud Musk lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like ambroxan and incense are the part that stays longest on the skin.
