A closer look at Perry Ellis Red EDC
Perry Ellis is the house behind Red EDC. It comes as Eau de Cologne.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Azzaro spreads further.
Red for work or evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is aromatic (100%), followed by woody and fresh spicy. You will probably like it if you enjoy aromatic and woody smells and notes like red apple and sandalwood. Less obvious notes include leather and oakmoss. Perfume fans rate it 3.92 out of 5.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €45. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur but less than Azzaro and Roja Dove Roja Apex.
More from Perry Ellis
The house has 22 perfumes here, led by Midnight, America and Pure Blue.
Red longevity
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Azzaro and Roja Dove Roja Apex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like sandalwood and sage are the part that stays longest on the skin.
