A closer look at Penhaligon's Anthology Zizonia EDT
Anthology Zizonia EDT is made by Penhaligon's. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Parfums De Marly Layton and Mont Blanc Individuel last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vetyver and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
