The house has 26 perfumes here, led by for Him Bleu Noir, for Her and Narciso Ambree.
Longevity on skin
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. Elizabeth Taylor Passion and Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like white cedar extract and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
