When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Its "beast mode" performance and aggressive sillage make it unsuitable for the office, as many reviews confirm it can be overwhelming for others. However, its dark, sensual rose and strong character are perfect for special evenings or formal events where making a statement is desired.
