Performance Dashboard
6-8 hours, extending to 10+ hours on fabric
Initially projects at arm's length for about an hour, then draws closer to the skin, becoming a personal indulgence. It's not a 'loud' fragrance, but consistently present for the wearer and those in their immediate vicinity.
Moderate for the first 1-2 hours, then settling to an intimate aura. It creates a subtle, inviting trail rather than an overwhelming presence.
