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 Lancôme Variety and Givenchy Amarige. Base notes like musk and oakmoss are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best season for 21BC
