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.
