Ungaro Diva EDP in detail
Ungaro is the house behind Diva EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough.
How long Diva stays 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. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like honey and oakmoss are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is woody (100%), followed by gourmand and floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy woody and gourmand smells and notes like Turkish rose and honey. Less obvious notes include coriander, carnation and civet. Perfume fans rate it 3.81 out of 5.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. For evenings, Elizabeth Taylor Passion has more depth.
