How Long Does It Last?

This fragrance lasts for hours and even days—seriously, I’m not joking! The first time I sprayed it, I could smell it around me for hours, especially if it got on my clothing. Just the other day, I sprayed it around my neck, and as my hair was down all day, the scent seeped into my hair. The next day, as I let my hair down, I could still catch whiffs of the fragrance—it was magical. Arabians Tonka is a 10 out of 10 in both longevity and projection.
