Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Calone, lily and pineapple read as sea air and sunshine. Summer comes first, spring next.
Occasions
Fresh and easygoing, so it suits sport, casual days and the office. It lacks the depth for a formal evening.
Seasons
Powdery iris, cedar and vetiver feel best in the cold of winter and autumn. Spring and summer would find it a little heavy.
Occasions
Polished and long-lasting, it suits dates and formal events well. It can pass at an office with a light hand, but it is too much for the gym.
