It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its leather side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Chambre Noire longevity
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.
