Unfortunately, but not surprising, I don't think the staying power is there. But I do agree with you, albeit odd, Sea of Love seems to have more staying power than other Philosophy scents. On a different note...I was in a store today and smelled Clean Warm Cotton. Omg this was THE best scent. It has been 14 hrs and I still smell it as if it was just applied. Once I finish my supply of Philosophy scents I will definitely be switching. I would definitely recommend it.
