Comme Des Garcons Rouge EDP in detail
Rouge EDP is made by Comme Des Garcons. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
When in the day to wear Rouge
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Chanel Bleu De Chanel is a lighter match.
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 Chanel Bleu De Chanel and Gisada Ambassador Intense. Base notes like incense and labdanum are the part that stays longest on the skin.
