Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its blend of leathery warmth and subtle spice makes it versatile for a range of occasions; however, some report performance issues, meaning it might not be ideal for a long day at the office. The sophisticated, yet slightly playful, nature suits evenings out or more dressed-up casual events. It might be too heavy for sportswear.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the warm spicy, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the warm spicy accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
