Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a loud, proud lily bomb with an animalic edge, this is it. It's gloriously extra and not for the faint of heart, but if you want to make a statement, Fortitude delivers.
This one's a proper chameleon. Some love its creamy, indolic jasmine and smooth cedar, while others bemoan a plasticky note or a glaring lack of discernible cedar. It's a divisive brew, not for blind buys, and definitely one to test on your own skin.

Occasions
Given its potent white floral nature and animalic undertones, Fortitude is best suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. It's too commanding for a casual setting, but shines brightly for dates or formal occasions where you want to make a lasting impression.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile for daily wear, though its sophisticated, clean character lends itself well to casual and date settings. The creamy white florals and woody base prevent it from being a powerhouse, keeping it appropriate for office wear too.
