Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
The strong oud and leather accords, coupled with frequent mentions of its 'sexy' and 'dark' character, make it ideal for date nights and formal events. While some find it suitable for the office due to its soft projection, many experience it as quite potent and not an everyday casual scent.
