What does Lasting Desire smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It wears at a steady middle level, neither faint nor heavy, and suits easy day-to-day use.
Lemon and bergamot give it a bright, lively feel, while lavender adds a floral, lightly spicy edge to that freshness. Cocoa rounds the scent with a sweet, powdery, creamy texture, with woody and fruity touches staying in the background. Zara Extreme Fusion and Zara Scent#3 have a close profile.
