Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
The sweet and woody accords, combined with its described comforting nature and general low sillage (for most users) make it suitable for dates and relaxed evenings. While not overpowering, its warmth might be a bit much for a strict office environment, and it is definitely not a sport scent.
Seasons
Coffee-vanilla-jasmine natural autumn-winter fit.
Occasions
Date, casual evening, office.
