Season and Occasion Fit

Gentlemen Only Absolute

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its warm, spicy-sweet profile and average projection make it ideal for dates and evening gatherings over crowded office settings. The smooth, refined character also suits formal winter events, though it's too much for active wear.

Shamokhi

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it too assertive for formal office environments but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. The warm, inviting accords lend themselves well to evening wear and cooler climates.
