For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear.
Mexx perfumes worth knowing
The house has 24 perfumes here, led by Fly High Woman, Look Up Now and Black.
Summer Holiday longevity
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Jil Sander #4 and Nino Cerruti 1881 last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like iris and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Summer Holiday price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €14. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Jil Sander #4 and Lily.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Jil Sander #4 and Nino Cerruti 1881 spread further.
