True Passion Noir through the year
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. It spreads further than Calvin Klein Ck Be.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €165. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Katy Perry Purr and Calvin Klein Ck Be but less than Bond No. 9 West Side.
When in the day to wear True Passion Noir
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. For daytime, Calvin Klein Ck Be is a lighter match.
