Its strong, powerful sillage and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for the office, but perfect for evenings. The rich, dark character of oud and amber naturally leans towards date nights and formal events, with a casual wearability on cooler days.

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, aromatic profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the lighter composition.
