A closer look at Rance 1795 Elise EDP
Elise EDP is made by Rance 1795. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Penhaligon's Empressa and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò.
Elise: day or night?
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
More from Rance 1795
The house has 20 perfumes here, led by Hortense, Heroique and Secrete Euphorie unisex.
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. It lasts longer than Penhaligon's Empressa and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò. Base notes like musk and patchouli are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Elise through the year
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, spring, winter and summer. If you need something for summer, Xerjoff Casamorati La Tosca is a better fit.
