Season and Occasion Fit

Saks Fifth Avenue

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
