Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its powerful projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, where it could overwhelm. However, its unique, seductive floral character is perfect for dates and evening events, commanding attention without being overtly 'dressy'.
Seasons
The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its floral, green signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
