8-12+ hours
The projection is moderate, extending an arm's length or slightly beyond for the first few hours, then settling closer to the skin as the fragrance matures. It's designed for discovery rather than declaration, a scent that draws people in rather than announcing itself from across the room.
Jazz Club exhibits a moderate sillage, creating an inviting, sophisticated aura that is noticeable without being overwhelming. It projects just enough to be appreciated by those in close proximity, making it perfect for intimate settings.
