Season and Occasion Fit

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, aquatic profile and good longevity make it suitable for casual wear and gym sessions, while still being presentable for an office setting if applied lightly. It's also sexy enough for a date night, though perhaps not formal events given its energetic character.
