Longevity at moderate to heavy sillage is unfortunately 3-ishhours, but it lasts as a more intimate scent for another 7+ hours, which honestly isn't bad for a perfume without filters or fixatives! However, I will note that I've also been testing it in summer weather — andsprayingrather robustly. You can pull out the broken stem and replace it with another one from a similar "apple" of the same size. You can probably find an empty bottle here in the forums. After all day wear, the licorice, praline, and powder are gone, leaving behind a musky skin scent with a trace of vanilla and patchouli. All that said...I love it! I can't wait to bring this out in cooler weather. I hope the initial sharp edges are tamed and its heart-note-longevity is strengthened when it doesn't have to contend with 80-90 degree heat and humidity. But as with many things in life, our individual mileage each may vary. Upon initial spray, the cherry was sharp —almostmedicinal and, combined with the licorice note, wasa bit choking. But undaunted, I continued to sprayround and round my head....at first, mostly because I loved the sprayer. It's the stem of the apple bottle, and it also releases a micro-mist that'smore akin tocloudlikepuffs of fragrance. It is exceedingly fun to spray!
