Black for work or evenings
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its aquatic side keeps it clean and easy.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Ajmal Kuro lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
