Season and Occasion Fit

Initio Paragon

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

The warmth and richness of the spicy and woody notes make it ideal for fall and winter, while the freshness makes it suitable for spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

The sophisticated and modern profile is suitable for dates and formal occasions, but it can also work in casual settings. Its intensity is less suited to sports or highly active situations.

Lime Spirit

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, energetic citrus and spicy accords make it suitable for casual wear and sport. The performance issues, noted by reviewers, mean it's unlikely to overwhelm in an office setting but wouldn't be a standout choice for formal occasions or a long date.
