No big surprise, but Pen's Limes didn't last worth a damn. It's too bad because it was a very, very worthy Summer frag.
Fragrances that don't last on you.

TOBS Mr. Taylor and Paco Rabanne
In general, is it not accepted wisdom that those with oiler/moister skin tend to hold on to scents longer than those with drier skin?
Again, I believe it is widely accepted that citrus EOs have a nortiously short scent life. It has certainly proven true with me, unfortunately.

Do any Penhaligon's products last for than an hour or two?! My BB lasts an hour tops and my Opus 1870, while lasting longer, only gets about three hours.
Green Irish Tweed, with normal (4 sprays) application doesn't get beyond an hour really. With twice as many sprays I can get most of the workday in. Most Creeds are a bit anemic with longevity for me. Also, Quorum by Puig is a bit on the weak side.

All Penhaligon scents
Acqua de Parma Colonia

Blenheim Bouquet fades on me within an hour. Far as I can tell, anyway.
I'm surprised at that. I put Quorum on at 7:00 a.m. and at 4:00 p.m. I'm still getting whiffs of it.
4711 seems to be short lived although some days it lasts longer than others.
Creed Bois de Cedrat
Caldey Island Lavender lasts an hour tops on me. I'll wear it to church, a short evening out or to bed, but I don't wear it to work. I really like L'Eau de l'Artisan, but I get 2 or 3 hours from it.
I would literally clear the room if I wore 4 sprays of Green Irish Tweed. 1 spray to the chest and it pounds on me for a solid 2 hours then mellows to an acceptable level for the remainder of the day until early evening.
A lot of fragrances - some of then may seem odd:
Knize Ten - fades completely within two hours after appliance;
GFT Eucris - idem as Knize Ten;
Knize Ten and GFT Eucris are alleged powerhouses in terms of longevity.
GFT Spanish Leather - gone in under one hour;
Blenheim Bouquet - less than half an hour.
Strangely enough, a very light scent such as GFT Ajaccio Violets stays with me for well over six hours...

Really? Hm. When is your bottle from? Apparently current production is a good deal weaker than old stuff.
Most anything by L'Artisan Parfumeur fades pretty quickly on me. The exceptions would be Dzing! (which is great when you want the all-day scent of a circus stable that doubles at night as an S&M dungeon) and, if I'm feeling generous, Tea for Two.
You really do meet people with a lot of interesting life experiences here at B&B.
I agree with the duration of the L'Artisan fragrances, although I'll get 4-6 hours from Passage d'Enfer.
Boss bottled night, great scent but lasts maybe 15 minutes on me with no residual fragrance to note.
I get 3-4 hours from Racquets and English Fern. Sartorial is a monster. It easily lasts all day.
