Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A year-round scent - easy to wear in any season.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive, clean profile make it excellent for office and casual wear. The warm spice and woody accords lend themselves well to dates, but it might lack the gravitas for truly formal events or the freshness for sport.
Seasons
Bergamot, pink pepper, lavender and an ambroxan-amber base sit between fresh and warm; spring through fall are the strongest fits, summer works in moderation.
Occasions
Loud projection and a spicy-fresh-amber trail suit casual daytime, dates and weekend evenings. Too dominant for office or sport.
