L'Eau De Paille longevity
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Yves Saint Laurent Y and Diptyque Kyoto unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like hay and incense are the part that stays longest on the skin.
