A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its intense woody and balsamic character, make it less suited for the office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. It's a perfect fit for cooler weather dates and formal events, where its luxurious and bold presence can truly shine without overpowering.
