Is Paris White Musk long lasting?
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Marc Jacobs Daisy and Jovan White Musk. Base notes like musk and violet are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. For daytime, Marc Jacobs Daisy is a lighter match.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €92. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Jovan White Musk and Ajmal Violet Musc but less than Parfums M Micallef M. Micallef Paris Royal Muska.
