In Red EdP

In Red EdP by Armand Basi, composed by Alberto Morillas in 2003, is a spicy, citrus-bright floral in eau de parfum concentration. Everyone describes it as floral, most also find it spicy and citrusy, and a third notice green, woody and musky touches.

Bergamot and mandarin orange open it with a soft citrus sparkle, and ginger and cardamom give the top a warm, dry spice that is more unusual in a floral than it sounds. The heart is a classic bouquet: rose and jasmine for richness, lily of the valley for a dewy freshness, and violet leaf for a green, slightly metallic edge that keeps it crisp. The base is simple, with woody notes and white musk providing a clean, soft landing.

People report longevity that is moderate at best, with a fair number finding it weak, and a moderate to close trail. It is voted entirely for daytime and mainly for spring. It suits someone who wants a bright, spiced floral for the office or a spring afternoon and does not need it to last into the evening.
