anything more than 2 hours with any citrus scent, is a long time on me.
by the way, the quercus hand wash is a favorite in our guest lavatory.

That is a good idea, thank you.
The longest lasting scent with citrus for me TOBS Eton College, followed by Pinaud Lime Sec, and TOBS Victorian Lime.
So many great scents to try out.
UPDATE: I'm officially on the English Fern bandwagon. Bought it a few weeks ago and have been wearing it quite often (including today), as it is working well for me this summer. Doesn't have the best performance but 4-6 sprays seems to be the sweet spot. All fragrances are different but avg number of sprays for me is probably 3 (at most). Regardless of less than stellar performance, I'm enjoying it immensely.
This for me - English Fern is my favorite, with a close second to Quercus. Blenheim Bouquet gets honorable mention.
Sartorial is a little to "powdery" for me. Eau de cologne is a little to light and "citrusy". Eau de Verveine is tiny bit too feminine for me.
Opus 1870 and Endymion are nice smelling, but don't crack the top two for me.
On my list to try: Juniper Sling and Duoro

I've thought a scent was gone one me one day, until I stood next to a person at a party (not even that close, really), and she commented that she liked the cologne (it was Quercus) This was after 8 hours. I sometimes think scent lingers, even if your nose had become used to it.
Hammam
English Fern
English Fern
English Fern and Castile...and
English Fern.
Endymion is the only scent I've ever re-bought in my entire life. That's how much I like it. It's my go-to scent from here on out, I think.
I have and like Blenheim Bouquet, but I'd really like to try their English Fern.
I own 3- Bayolea, Blenheim, and Duoro. All 3 are excellent IMO. Lasting power is excellent also. Scent is YMMV like everything else, but I can attest, for me, each one I can still get scent from them the next day. Staying power is awesome. Need to get on the English Fern train along with Elixir, Hammam, and Sartorial. Not one negative thing I can say about Penhaligon's. Great scents that last for me.
Opus is my favourite. I smelled their new one last week, definitely would not go out and buy it.
Opus 1870
-at least the bottle that I have.

Endymion. The opening isn't great, but it settles into the deepest, best coffee out there, IMO.
I haven't mentioned Bayolea, which is a recent 'hit' IMO...
Hammam Bouquet
Juniper sling - but I wish it lasted longer.
I have the whole set up of blenheim, cream (in there jar best packaging out there) balm, deodorant stick and the cologne... Great stuff, love it.. Now want endymion and bayolea
Vintage Lavender. Need to try the juniper though, love juniper scents.
WOW. This is the ultimate YMMV and really shows how reccomendations on fragrance are almost useless - you need to try it on yourself. I tried Sartorial and my wife didn't like it and I thought it was so-so. I tried seven Fougere shave soaps and B&M was the worst (although I like a lot of their soaps).
