Sillage & Longevity (Fragrance)

The two metrics that separate premium cologne from mall-tier body spray — projection and duration.

Sillage (French: 'wake') is how far a fragrance projects from your skin. Longevity is how long it lasts. Premium colognes like Grizzly Gold Standard Cologne are formulated with high-quality base notes (sandalwood, vetiver, oud) that extend longevity to 8–12 hours — vs 2–4 hours for typical drugstore fragrances.

Key Facts
  • ›Sillage: the projection of a fragrance around you.
  • ›Longevity: the duration on skin.
  • ›Base notes (sandalwood, vetiver) drive longevity.
  • ›Concentration: EDP > EDT > cologne strength.
  • ›Grizzly Gold Standard Cologne: 8–12 hour longevity.
