used it through the week, it def last longer than the EDC variant, the scent has slight variation from the original, more spicy and with a strong leather tinge. sillage is ok, last from morning till around 2-3pm, after that it kinda fades off but the scent is still there on the skin. (fyi i have oily skin so this could be a reason why it does last compared to non-oily folks).

had received compliments from my peers both guys and gals thats its nice and it gives a "warm lovely feel". on other reviews. review by some others i've read says its a flanker since Puig acquired Pehaligon's. all i can say is one man's meat is another's poison...

if you asked me if its worth paying more for the concentre vs the EDC, i would say yes.

We all know the problem with edp releases coming after the original edc/edt. The essence of the fragrance changed. Would u say that the perfume still retain the essence of the orginal?

How's the application process for you guys?
Normally I give it 1 spray on the chest but 2-3hours later the scent would be gone. Currently using hugo boss the scent.

Do you guys switch around different scents throughout the week?

Theoritically the pulse points but normally i do 4 points at least. Behind ear, chest, inside elbow and lastly back of my wrist especially my master hand. Kind of like the scent when drinking coffee in the morning while holding my mug.
Sillage depends on perfume performance, skin types and environment like heat and light etc. HBTS longevity is not one of its pros so 3 hours is consider normal to reduce to skin scent. You may want to get an atomizer so you can refresh yourself during mid day perhaps.

There are different schools of thought. Some people felt that latter products will sometimes be "watered-down" than the first bottle due to reformulations. I can't say that this is 100% true but it may be one of the reasons too.

Is Vesace PH your only fragrance? If yes my thought is that if you use a single fragrance everyday, there are chances that your nose has already accustom to that particular scent and your memory muscle has registered it inside your brain. You will feel that no matter how much you've applied, you will not be able to get that kind of projection and longevity like before but in reality, people around you do get that strong scent even if you don't.
I can relate to this because initially before i discover my new hobby, i was using only one perfume, Clinique Happy. It was a fresh scent and i've never thought of switching perfumes. It was like an everyday scent but the scent memory can never be better than the first time i applied it at the store when i was first introduced to it on 2007. Nevertheless it is not wrong to use a single fragrance as your signature scent. What you can do is maybe get another fragrance for special occasions or a sports perfume if you are a frequent gym person. Alternate between two frags and see if it helps.

Whether does it got to do with your body i say it's a yes and depend on your situation and environment too. Yes as research shows that people with oily complexion does have a better scent longevity. If your body heat is high it will affect longevity of the perfume.(Heat forces the scent molecules to dissipate faster) another reason why it kills to apply perfume in Singapore weather.

Cheers
