Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Ptah (2018) smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and spring, then winter, and it leans towards leisure, business and evening wear. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, but with a clear feminine side, so it sits in between.
The top pairs sage and ginger with the citrus of bergamot. The heart of geranium, frankincense and iris turns floral and powdery. The base of vetiver, tonka bean, vanilla and leather ends woody, sweet and a little smoky.
