Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The vibrant bergamot and green facets make it ideal for spring, while the coffee and woody vetiver base give it enough depth for fall. It works in summer if applied lightly, but its warmth is less suited to deep winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh yet intriguing profile make it perfect for dates and casual outings. The coffee and vetiver lend enough sophistication for the office, but it is less suited for formal black-tie or intense sport settings.
Seasons
The warm roasted-coffee heart with a citrus lift suits cool autumn and winter days, with a fresher spring fit.
Occasions
An energising, characterful gourmand good for casual daytime, dates and the office rather than formal or sporty settings.
