Despite its 'Summer Edition' tag, some users find it performs better in cooler weather due to its sweet and warm spicy elements, making it versatile for casual wear but less suited to intense heat. Its average longevity and sillage mean it won't overwhelm in an office, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

About

Opening with a surprising green, almost frozen grapefruit, this fragrance quickly moves beyond typical citrus. A heart of quince adds a bitter-yet-juicy fruitiness, softened by a watery cardamom spice. The dry-down settles into a warm, gently spiced woody base, with cinnamon providing a subtle linger that gives it more depth than your average summer spritz.
