Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
Roaring Radcliff longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. It lasts about as long as Montale Paris Honey Aoud and Xerjoff Blends Tony Iommi Monkey Special Edp 100Ml. Base notes like honey and beeswax are the part that stays longest on the skin.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its honey side feels cosy and rich after dark.
