Holds its shape through the worst of the afternoon, then flattens into something soft and woody around hour six.

One variable at a time, same routine every time. If a number here is wrong, it's because the scent behaved differently on the day — not because the test changed.
Chest, both sides of the neck, one wrist. Unmoisturized skin. Applied at 11am.
Projection scored 0–10 at arm's length, then again close to the skin. Recorded on the hour until nothing's left.
Air temperature and humidity noted at every check. A scent that lasts nine hours in November isn't the same scent in August.
Some bottles are bought, some are sent by brands. Every review says which. Brands don't preview or approve anything, and a free bottle gets the same test as a bought one.
If you'd like a fragrance considered for testing, get in touch. Tests run in full Southern California heat and publish with the complete hour-by-hour log, whatever it shows.
