Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its nuclear performance and intense, sweet accords make it unsuitable for office wear, where it would overwhelm. This is best reserved for special occasions and date nights, where its luxurious and attention-grabbing scent can shine. Casual wear is possible if applied sparingly for outdoor activities in cooler weather.
Seasons
Green patchouli and powdery mimosa are happiest in autumn and spring air, with winter next; summer heat makes it heavy.
Occasions
Bold and sophisticated, it fits formal evenings and thoughtful casual wear. The strength is too much for an office.
