A closer look at Mendittorosa Athanor EDP
Athanor EDP comes from Mendittorosa. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
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 Houbigant Bois Mystique. Base notes like cashmeran and guaiac wood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. The Spirit Of Dubai Turath and Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan spread further.
