About Merchant Of Venice Byzantium Saffron EDP
Byzantium Saffron EDP comes from Merchant Of Venice. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €115. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Amour De Paris Spicy Leather and Yves Saint Laurent Babycat unisex.
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 warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Amour De Paris Spicy Leather is a lighter match.
Byzantium Saffron longevity
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. It lasts about as long as Amour De Paris Spicy Leather and Yves Saint Laurent Babycat unisex. Base notes like indonesian patchouli leaf and crystal amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Amour De Paris Spicy Leather and Hermetica Redmoon.
