About Pierre Balmain Extatic EDT
Pierre Balmain is the house behind Extatic EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Parfums De Marly Delina and Armaf Club De Nuit Sillage last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Pierre Balmain Extatic Intense Gold lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like musk and ambroxan are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Mont Blanc Lady Emblem L'Eau.
