During the last weeks I have done some testing of the lasting power, or longevity, of some colognes on myself. I know that everyone has a different experience, but here are my results. The testing was done in a simple way, I just put a little spritz of the cologne I was wearing this day on my forearm and spread it out with a finger. During the day, I sniffed on my arm about every hour until I could not longer detect the scent. Purposely, I did not apply it to the back of my hands or on my pulse since I wash my hands very often due to me working in a lab a lot. I had my wife also sniff on me from time to time, on my cheeks or neck, where I normally apply my colognes.

I will repeat this later this year, when the weather changes; I believe that temperature and humidity have also a lot to do with this, i.e. I sweat more in the hot weather we have right now. Some of the scents I wore two or three times before I settled on a time, a few I wore only once (C&E, E. Arden). But I will continue taking notes on all I keep in my den.
Some of these have a relatively short stay on me, like the C&S No. 88 - which is one of my favorites - or the C+S Ox/Cam which is practically gone within two hours from me. Others report these scents stay on them a very long time.
