Wearing it
Liquid Brun delivers a rich spiced vanilla profile with impressive projection and all-day longevity. Most blind buyers love it for cold weather, though some find it overwhelmingly sweet.
How far it carriesArm's length to room filling
Perfumers call it sillage.
It easily projects an arm's length and can fill an entire room with moderate sprays.
“The projection is pretty good. 3 sprays are good enough to fill up a pretty big room.”

“With just one spray I have a very nice scent bubble around me 3hrs later.”
