Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Citron 28 features citrus and herbal notes that make it suitable for the mild temperatures of spring and fall. The freshness is less suited to the intense heat of summer or the cold of winter.
Occasions
With its moderate projection and fresh citrus profile, Citron 28 is apt for casual wear and the office. It may be understated for formal occasions and lacks the dynamics for sporty activities.
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the citrus, warm spicy profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
