Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The lush rose and powdery iris heart make it radiant in spring, while creamy vanilla and musk allow for wear well into fall and cooler months. Fruity nuances and moderate warmth keep it versatile, but it's at its best when flowers are in bloom.
Occasions
Elegant but never cloying, its soft sillage and refined sweetness are perfect for date nights and everyday chic, while powdery musks keep it polished for office or formal events. Too plush and floral for active or sporty wear.
Seasons

Occasions
