Is Hope 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 Lily and L’Occitane Au Brésil Flor de Graviola L'Occitane Au Bresil. Base notes like musk and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Lily and L’Occitane Au Brésil Flor de Graviola L'Occitane Au Bresil.
Hope: day or night?
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €86. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Jil Sander #4 and Creed Aventus For Her.
