Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The spicy cinnamon and warm woods suit fall and winter, while the fresh apple and citrus top make it viable for spring. Its warmth can be a bit much for hot summer days but works in cooler evenings.
Occasions
Versatile projection and mass-appeal make it safe for office and casual use. The warm, slightly sweet drydown is inviting for dates. It is generally too refined for sweaty sports and just formal enough for business, but not black tie.
Seasons
Apple-cinnamon-sandalwood is autumn-natural; comfortable in spring/winter and acceptable in summer.
Occasions
Versatile office-masculine - the workplace signature; date and casual fully comfortable.
