About Jovoy Rouge Assasin EDP
Jovoy is the house behind Rouge Assasin EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Price and value

Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Slava Zaitsev Maroussia lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like white musk and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
