Seasons
The crisp citrus and marine notes make this best for spring and summer, offering a breezy, refreshing effect that complements warmer weather. The light woody base allows for some versatility into fall, but lacks the heft for winter.
Occasions
Low projection and fresh, clean character make this perfect for office and casual wear, and it will not overwhelm in close quarters. It is also sporty and energetic, but is too understated for formal occasions.

Built on citrus, woody and green - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh accords make it perfect for everyday wear, particularly in an office setting or for casual outings. The moderate performance ensures it won't be overpowering, while its refreshing qualities lend themselves well to active situations.
