is it just me or does anybody else have problems with longevity and sillage? i've been experimenting with some of the montale's - dark aoud, black aoud, wood and spices and aoud lime - they last about an hour and a half before disappearing - czech & speake 88 managed about half an hour before literally vanishing to nothing. amouage lyric was about the same. i don't have the greatest sense of smell in the world so for me to smell anything after 30 minutes is a miracle and under normal circumstances i would think it's my terrible sense of smell. however, no matter how many people i ask nobody else can smell them on me either. i went to work with six squirts each of montale black aoud and dark aoud thinking i'd be making people faint - however nobody commented and when i asked after an hour if anybody could actually smell me the only feedback was "sort of, it's not strong, just subtle". anybody else have these problems or is my skin just absorbing anything i put on it?
