Read every range within the concentrate.
All percentages shown in this system refer to the percentage used within the concentrate or perfume formula before dilution with alcohol.
Noticeability is not the same as longevity.
This system does not directly state longevity performance. A higher range may make the musk more noticeable, but it does not guarantee an equivalent increase in lasting power.
