Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
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. It lasts about as long as Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir and Azzaro Chrome. If you want more hours, Rabanne Pure XS Night Paco lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like sandalwood and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
