Season and Occasion Fit

No. 85 Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

The spicy opening and smooth amber-leather base make this versatile for spring and especially autumn, with enough warmth for mild winter days and enough freshness for summer evenings.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

The moderate projection and balanced spicy-woody character make it suitable for daily wear and date nights, but the leather-amber base is not quite dressy or energetic enough for formal or sporty occasions.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
