Slava Zaitsev Secret Du Style EDP in detail
Secret Du Style EDP comes from Slava Zaitsev. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Secret Du Style for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial 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 Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan and Clandestine Angel Heart. Base notes like patchouli and tonka bean are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Secret Du Style sillage
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan and Clandestine Angel Heart spread further.
Price and value
