Which Should You Buy?

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Rich amber, leather, vanilla, and warm spices create a dense, enveloping trail ideal for cold winter and crisp fall nights. Its intensity can be overwhelming in summer heat, but transitions well into early spring evenings.
Occasions
Its bold projection and opulent, sensual warmth suit formal events, romantic evenings, and nights out but can be too commanding for the office or sporty settings.
Seasons
Built on vanilla, fresh spicy and sweet - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong sillage and warm spicy notes make it less formal for the office but great for casual settings and dates. The tobacco note adds a hint of risk, perfect for making a memorable impression.
