Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh and delicate floral profile makes it ideal for office wear and casual outings, as it's unlikely to offend.

Occasions
Its citrus, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
