Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While some find its projection light enough for the office, its sophisticated and sensual character makes it a standout choice for formal events and romantic dates. It’s perhaps a bit too elegant for very casual wear or sporty activities, where its refined nature might feel out of place.
