How long Angelique stays on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Ex Nihilo Sweet Morphine and Marc Jacobs Decadence last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like styrax are the part that stays longest on the skin.
