"With a 15% fragrance-oil concentration… formulated to be long-lasting — in many cases as long as, or longer than, designer fragrances."

Outside this verdict’s scope; included for context.
What we couldn’t check
- Claimed longevity. Neither brand gives hours.
- Comparative performance. How each fragrance actually smells, projects and lasts on skin has not been compared; notes are what each brand claims.
