Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and good longevity, combined with a fruity, sweet, and musky profile, make it versatile but best suited for evenings or casual outings rather than formal settings or the gym. However, some find it too potent for office wear, while others enjoy its freshness in warmer weather.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the woody, fruity profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
