When in the day to wear Ciara 100%
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Clive Christian Jump Up And Kiss Me Hedonistic is a lighter match.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber and Gisada Ambassador Intense. Base notes like opoponax and incense are the part that stays longest on the skin.
