Berdoues Arz El-Rab EDP in detail
Berdoues is the house behind Arz El-Rab EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Prada Infusion De Cedre and Yves Rocher So Elixir Bois Sensuel last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
