About Police Gold Wings EDC

Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Gisada Ambassador Intense and Dior Sauvage Elixir last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like patchouli and tonka bean are the part that stays longest on the skin.
