CIEL Parfum Arc-en-Ciel No 19 EDP in detail
Arc-en-Ciel No 19 EDP is made by CIEL Parfum. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €54. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Davidoff Cool Water but less than Giorgio Armani Si Passione and The Spirit Of Dubai Bahar.
Longevity on skin
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Giorgio Armani Si Passione and Davidoff Cool Water last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like cedar and musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is soft: people must be close to smell it. If you want others to notice it, use a few more sprays. Giorgio Armani Si Passione and Davidoff Cool Water spread further.
Best season for Arc-en-Ciel No 19
