Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and warm, spicy character make it superb for dates, casual outings, or more relaxed formal events, especially in cooler weather. It's perhaps a bit too cosy for the office and definitely not suited for sport due to its rich, heavy accords.
