A closer look at John Varvatos Rock Volume One EDC
Rock Volume One EDC comes from John Varvatos. This one is the Eau de Cologne.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its leather side feels cosy and rich after dark.
What Rock Volume One costs
The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Yves Saint Laurent Kouros but less than Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature and Prada Amber.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Signature and Prada Amber last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
