A closer look at Tommy Hilfiger True Star Men EDC

True Star Men through the year
The best time of year to wear it is spring and winter. It is less suited to fall. Ranked by season: spring, winter, summer and fall. If you need something for fall, Prada Amber is a better fit.
True Star Men: day or night?
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Prada Amber has more depth.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Mugler B*Men and Prada Amber last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Penhaligon's Penhaligons Trade Routes Halfeti but less than Mugler B*Men and Prada Amber.
