Note weights are our estimate from each note's place in the pyramid, not the share of the formula. Brands do not publish formulations.
Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The lively citrus and fresh vetiver make it ideal for spring and fall, while the woody and spicy backbone gives it enough presence for cooler weather. Less suited to winter chill or extreme summer heat, but versatile in temperate climates.
Occasions
Its refined freshness and moderate projection suit office and casual settings, while the dry woody character can work for dates and even formal events. Not sporty or playful enough for active wear.
Seasons
The earthy, rooty vetiver base reads best in cool weather, with autumn and winter the natural home.
Occasions
Sober and polished enough for the office and formal settings, and too earnest for sport.
