Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built on woody, white floral and earthy - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its sophisticated woody and white floral accords make it suitable for a range of dressier occasions, from dates to formal events. While not overly heavy, it might be a bit much for a casual sport setting, but can be worn casually if applied lightly.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sophisticated leather-chypre profile make it suitable for office wear if applied subtly, while its elegance shines for dates and formal events. It's too refined and distinct for casual sportswear.
