Colour Me Dark Red sillage
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Nina Ricci L'Air Du Temps.
Colour Me Dark Red 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.
