A closer look at Memo Paris African Rose EDP
African Rose EDP comes from Memo Paris. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
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. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and agarwood (oud) are the part that stays longest on the skin.
African Rose price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €286. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad.
