Molyneux Lord EDC in detail
Lord EDC is made by Molyneux. Its strength is Eau de Cologne.
The style of Lord
The strongest accord is woody (100%), followed by aromatic and gourmand. You will probably like it if you enjoy woody and aromatic smells and notes like cedar and vetiver. Less obvious notes include bergamot and tonka bean. Perfume fans rate it 3.91 out of 5.
Day or night?
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
Is Lord long lasting?
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Azzaro and Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vetiver and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
