Season and Occasion Fit

English Pear & Freesia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Crisp pear, melon, and freesia make this scent supremely fresh and light, perfect for spring and summer. Its airy character is less suited to the cold of winter, but its gentle fruitiness can transition into early autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Soft projection and inoffensive freshness make it ideal for office and casual daily wear. It is subtly romantic for a date, but too sheer for formal events or intense enough for sport.
