Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bright fruit and citrus suit spring, while the spice, labdanum and oakmoss give it the weight for autumn and winter. Summer is the lightest fit.
Occasions
Long-lasting and strong, it is made for dates and formal evenings, and good for casual wear. A touch heavy for the office and not a gym scent.
Seasons
The vibrant citrus top and fresh fruity heart suit spring, while the smoky birch, musk, and ambergris base excel in cool fall and winter. It can work in summer but may overwhelm in high heat.
Occasions
Its strong projection and smoky character make it ideal for dates and casual outings, but may be too assertive for close-quarters office or sport. Works for some formal events if applied lightly.
