Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and summer pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its strong performance and fruity sweetness make it a bit much for the office, but it's ideal for casual wear and dates where its projection will be appreciated. It's too playful for formal events and only moderately suited for sport.

About
