Malle French Lover longevity issues

Am working my way through some samples of Malles. Does anyone have longevity issues with 'French Love' / 'Bois d'Orage'? It seems to be gone in an hour, no matter how many sprays, much like a cologne. Or is it just me?

I have a full bottle of this and it lasts several hours on me. I do know that sometime ago when it first came out the strength was 7% pv and they changed it to 9%. Maybe you could check the back of the sample if its one of the official Malle samples to check if its 7% or 9% pv.

I checked I definitely have 9%. I have dry skin. Really, really dry skin. Could this maybe be the problem? I've tried unscented lotion after I shower but doesn't seem to make a difference. Spice or Orientals seem to last the day on me though.

If you have longevity problems on skin, then spray it on fabric. You'll get better longevity out of your scents.

This one doesn't project much but lasts all day on me.
