About Giorgio Beverly Hills Red EDT

Red price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €30. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Tom Ford Black Orchid and Clive Christian Xxi Art Deco Blonde Amber.
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.
