About Comme des Garcons Daphne EDP
Daphne EDP comes from Comme des Garcons. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Tom Ford Soleil De Feu and Goldfield & Banks Desert Rosewood.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €175. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Lattafa Velvet Oud but less than Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady and Goldfield & Banks Desert Rosewood.
Daphne through the year
The best time of year to wear it is winter and fall. It is less suited to spring. Ranked by season: winter, fall, summer and spring. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
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 Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Lattafa Velvet Oud and Frederic Malle Portrait Of A Lady. Base notes like amber and incense are the part that stays longest on the skin.
