Season and Occasion Fit

Ultima

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, aquatic profile and good longevity make it suitable for casual wear and gym sessions, while still being presentable for an office setting if applied lightly. It's also sexy enough for a date night, though perhaps not formal events given its energetic character.

Aqua de Classic

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

With average performance and a fresh, aquatic profile, this scent is incredibly versatile and works well for most casual and office settings without being intrusive. Its brightness makes it less suitable for formal events where something more sophisticated might be expected.
