About Taxi Blue EDT
Taxi is the house behind Blue EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
Is Blue long lasting?
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Yves Saint Laurent Y and Yzy Perfume Territoire Noir last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like crystal amber and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
