Velvet Plums for work or evenings
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. For evenings, Tom Ford Black Orchid has more depth.
How long it lasts
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. Tom Ford Black Orchid and Ungaro Diva last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like earthy notes and helvetolide are the part that stays longest on the skin.
