The Harmonist Desired Earth EDP in detail
Desired Earth EDP comes from The Harmonist. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Longevity on skin
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 Opium and The Harmonist Variety last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, The Harmonist Desired Earth lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like benzoin and iris are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Desired Earth sillage
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Azzaro Wanted By Night spread further.
