Note weights are our estimate from each note's place in the pyramid, not the share of the formula. Brands do not publish formulations.
Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its low projection and poor longevity make it unsuitable for situations requiring a strong presence, but ideal for close encounters like date nights. The warm, inviting accords lend themselves well to casual and quieter formal settings.
Seasons
The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its woody, fruity signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
Similarity Breakdown
Our estimate of how alike these two fragrances smell, calculated from their published notes. It is a position on our scale, not a measured percentage of shared smell.
