The creamy iris, tonka, and woody base make this ideal for fall and spring, while the fresher citrus top adds versatility into milder winter and early summer. Its richness is best appreciated in cooler or moderate weather.
Occasions
Smooth, powdery iris and a refined woody base suit office and date settings, while moderate projection keeps it safe for most social and semi-formal occasions. Not designed for sporty or high-activity use.
Seasons
Vanilla-tonka-amber wears warmest in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Date, formal evening, cosy casual. Restrained office wear.
