Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, sometimes challenging, scent profile make it less suitable for office wear. However, its bold and mysterious character lends itself well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for cooler casual days.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
This extrait is too profoundly luxurious and refined for casual wear or the gym; it demands a more elevated setting. Its powerful floral-woody character makes it perfect for formal events and date nights where you want to leave an unforgettable impression, while its moderate sillage keeps it from being overwhelming for office wear.
