Longevity on skin
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 about as long as Amouage Outlands and Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience. Base notes like amber and oakmoss are the part that stays longest on the skin.

Chypre Shot for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
What Chypre Shot costs
The usual price in Europe is about €140. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu unisex and Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense but less than Amouage Outlands and Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense.
