Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Best For:
Date
Casual
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it too assertive for office wear, but perfect for dates or nights out where you want to make an impression. The warm spicy and leather accords lean it away from formal events, but it's great for casual evening wear, especially in colder weather.
