24 Carat Pure Gold

Accounts describe at least nine to over twelve hours, with much quieter late wear. Another describes the main scent for 6–8 hours before a less appealing residual drydown. Longevity includes detectable late skin scent. Editorial estimate from retrieved accounts; reports vary and no representative consensus was measured. Earlier assessment: Strong early presence supported; total longevity figure lacks explicit units in retrieved passage. Editorial estimate from retrieved wearer accounts, not a measured consensus. Performance varies by skin, application and version. Accord ratings were not reassessed.
