A closer look at Scotch & Soda EDP
Scotch & Soda EDP carries the name of its own house. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Scotch & Soda price per bottle size
The usual price in Europe is about €56. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Tom Ford Oud Wood and Gisada Ambassador Intense.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Gisada Ambassador Intense and Prada Amber last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vanilla and tonka bean are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Scotch & Soda for work or 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, Mont Blanc Individuel is a lighter match.
