Michel Germain Blue North EDT in detail
Blue North EDT comes from Michel Germain. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
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. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Frederic Malle Editions De Parfums Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur has more depth.
Is Blue North long lasting?
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. Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti and Elizabeth Taylor Passion for Men last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
