Red Cologne

Details and Care

Red cologne hit the shelves in 1991. It is a vintage fragrance from Giorgio Beverly Hills that has withstood time to work just as well today as it did back then. This fragrance for men comes in a red box with a clear bottle featuring a gold speckled black topper. It is quite classic in looks and appeal. Red is very aromatic with herbal and woody elements that make it lean masculine. However, it also has various fruity and floral notes that keep it from becoming too deep or dark.

Questions and Answers

Q: How does Giorgio Beverly Hills Red cologne smell?

A: Red cologne by Giorgio Beverly Hills makes an enticing fragrance choice for men. The opening is very rich, with citrus and spices mingling to tease the senses. In the heart, floral notes spring to life and bring a lightness and sweetness that is rather unexpected. The base is where this fragrance shines. It has the traditional amber, patchouli notes mixing with cedar and oak moss. However, it is leather that really stands out. Despite being in the base, leather is the overall note that stands out and defines this fragrance.

Q: Where do you apply Red?

A: To increase the longevity of the fragrance, spray onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration?

A: Red cologne is an eau de toilette. It has an oil concentration that ranges from 5% to 15%. It is much lighter to wear than the more popular eau de parfum. However, it still has nice strength after the initial application. Note that applying more heavily will not impact longevity, but it can produce an overwhelming strength, so it is not advisable.

Q: Is it for him or her?

A: Giorgio Beverly Hills created two versions of Red, one for him and one for her. This is the masculine creation. However, women may prefer this one with its spicy attributes and supple leather note to the more feminine version.

Q: Does Red cologne last long?

A:An eau de toilette generally lasts up to four hours, but it is possible to make it last for six. It will lose strength with heat exposure, so wearing in cooler environments can help. Also, the oils may interact with body chemistry and dissipate quickly, reducing wear time, so consider applying it to hair instead. Some people find that it also lasts much longer when spritzed on clothing.

Q: What fragrances smell similar?

A: Fans of Giorgio Beverly Hills Red should check out Coty Preferred Stock, Jean Patou Patou Pour Homme, and Drakkar Noir.

Q: What season should I wear it?

A: While there is a lot of brightness to this scent profile, Red is best for winter. It has a lot of warmth and strength that works best in cooler temperatures to make any man smell clean and crisp.

Q: Where can I buy it?

A: Perfume.com is perhaps one of the best online fragrance retailers because we offer the widest selection of authentic perfumes and colognes, competitive pricing and top-notch customer service.
