Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. The Spirit Of Dubai Durra and The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like incense and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
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. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Gisada Ambassador Intense has more depth.
