Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile for casual settings and even suitable for the office, where it won't overwhelm. While it has a playful, sexy edge that works for dates, its gourmand sweetness and lack of gravitas mean it's less fitting for formal events.
Seasons
Reach for it across spring and summer, where the citrus signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.
Occasions
This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
