Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its "beast mode" performance and strong sillage, this leans towards date nights and formal events where you want to make a statement. While some reviews suggest it's office-safe, its intensity means it’s best for controlled application in professional settings.
