Performance notes and sources
Goddess
Reports generally support sustained wear, with the vanilla becoming softer and closer as the aromatic opening settles. Some wearers report much shorter or quieter wear. This estimate is for the original Eau de Parfum, not Goddess Intense or Parfum.
Profile reviewed
Athena
Athena accounts describe variable diffusion, including weak projection despite retained scent. Moderate is a low-confidence broad estimate rather than assuming the same performance as Angham. Editorial estimate from retrieved accounts; reports vary and no representative consensus was measured. Earlier assessment: Exact Athena account describes eight-hour wear; projection varies and some short reports are fabric-only. Editorial estimate from retrieved wearer accounts, not a measured consensus. Performance varies by skin, application and version. Accord ratings were not reassessed.
