Performance notes and sources
Gris Charnel
A detailed skin test reports about 8.5–12 hours at one or two sprays, with a fairly restrained cloud that fades during wear. Other wearers report shorter results; these are individual tests of the EDP, not the Extrait.
Profile reviewed
Francique 63.55
Wear reports conflict: one describes decent projection and around 5 hours, while others report much weaker or stronger performance. Moderate is a tentative estimate, not a settled typical duration.
