Is Diadem long lasting?
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 Rayhaan Terra and Hiram Green Arcadia unisex. Base notes like amber and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
