How long Captain stays on skin
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Dior Fahrenheit and Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Molyneux Captain 1975 lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like benzoin and guaiac wood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
