Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
With moderate longevity and low sillage, this is a refined choice for the office, casual wear, or a reserved date. Its subtle nature makes it less ideal for formal events requiring a stronger presence or for sports.
Seasons
A dense musky-woody-amber composition performs best in cooler months where it can sit close to the skin without overwhelming.
Occasions
The velvety musk-amber signature is designed for formal evenings and intimate dates, not daytime or casual wear.
