Gentleman EDP and Society Extrême tie at 8–9, while Sport reaches 7–9. Boisée lasts 8 hours, Society EDP 7–8, EDT Intense 7 and the 2017 EDT 6. The ranges overlap; longer wear does not automatically mean stronger projection or sillage.

Three different measures
Lasting longer isn’t the whole story.
- Longevity
- How long you can still detect the scent.
- Projection
- How far the scent radiates around you.
- Sillage
- The scent trail you leave as you move.
Bars use the same scale for every bottle. Projection and trail are qualitative ratings from light to heavy; they don’t describe hours at full strength.
