In Red
Armand Basi In Red opens warm rather than fresh, which is unusual for an eau de toilette. Ginger and cardamom come through with bergamot and mandarin, giving the citrus a spiced edge from the first minute.
The heart is wide. Lily, jasmine, rose and peony sit together with violet leaf adding a green sharpness, pink pepper keeping the spice running, and blackcurrant giving it a tart fruit lift. Seven materials is a lot to hold in balance and the reason it works is that none of them is allowed to dominate.
Underneath, praline and vanilla bring a soft sweetness, amber and white musk warm it, and oakmoss and palisander rosewood give it a dry, slightly damp floor so the sweetness has a limit.
How In Red wears
Moderate longevity and moderate projection, lasting a working day and staying close. It works across the year and suits daytime and evening equally.
