Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

A timeless, elegant scent suited for formal occasions or evenings, but also iconic for romantic dates. Its presence and sophistication may be too commanding for sport or very casual daily wear, and can be polarising in close office settings.
