Olfactive Studio Close Up EDP in detail
Close Up EDP comes from Olfactive Studio. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is cherry (100%), followed by warm spicy and white floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy cherry and warm spicy smells and notes like white tobacco and tonka bean. Less obvious notes include coffee, Atlas cedar and musk. Perfume fans rate it 3.68 out of 5.
Close Up price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €154. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense and Paris Corner December Vanille but less than Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience.
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.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense.
Other Olfactive Studio perfumes
The house has 23 perfumes here, led by Still Life In Rio, Lumiere Blanche and Iris Shot.
Close Up 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 Mugler A*Men and Initio Parfums Prives Mystic Experience. Base notes like tonka bean and amber are the part that stays longest on the skin.
