Which weather suits Red
The best time of year to wear it is spring. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: spring, fall, winter and summer.
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. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
Red price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €25. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Gianni Versace Blue Jeans and Liz Claiborne Curve.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. It lasts longer than Gianni Versace Blue Jeans and Liz Claiborne Curve. Base notes like smoke and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance.
