Due to its extremely poor longevity and weak sillage, Lances is barely detectable, making it almost irrelevant for any occasion. If it were to be worn, its subtle woody and powdery nature might just about pass in a very close-quarters office setting, though most would consider it a waste of an application for anything more demanding.

About

Lances promises an embrace of comforting woods but delivers precious little. A fleeting whisper of cedar and sandalwood, barely there, is meant to intertwine with a soft lavender. The nutty hint of hazelnut struggles to emerge, quickly fading into a powdery ghost of vanilla. It's all rather vague and ephemeral, a pale shadow of what a woody, aromatic scent should be.
