Note weights are our estimate from each note's place in the pyramid, not the share of the formula. Brands do not publish formulations.
Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
While its floral heart bursts with spring optimism, the sweetness and patchouli-vanilla base lend enough warmth and richness to shine in fall and even winter. It can feel heavy in the hottest weather but thrives in cooler or transitional seasons.
Occasions
The lush, sweet floral character and moderate boldness make it an ideal romantic or evening choice, but it can impress in formal settings too. Its projection and richness are less suited for sport or the most conservative office environments.
Seasons
Sweet rose-patchouli is autumn-winter natural; warmer months the sweetness compounds and reads heavy.
Occasions
Bold-feminine evening signature - date, evening, night-out the natural homes.
