Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Jil Sander Sun.
How long Ensis 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. It lasts about as long as Natura Una Artisan and Creed Aventus For Her. Base notes like metallic notes and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
When in the day to wear Ensis
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its green side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Jil Sander Sun has more depth.
