Base Notes
Note weights are our estimate from each note's place in the pyramid, not the share of the formula. Brands do not publish formulations.
Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Best for spring and fall due to its energetic fresh-spicy opening and rich base. Summer may feel a bit heavy, while winter performance is solid but not fully suited for deep cold.
Occasions
Ideal for date nights and nights out thanks to its bold projection and playful boozy accord. Slightly loud for the office but works for casual and some formal events if applied lightly.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and slightly spicy profile makes it highly versatile for office, casual wear, and even light sport. However, its moderate performance and lack of 'wow' factor mean it's less suited for formal events or clubbing where you want to stand out.
