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 Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

The citrus and white florals make it vibrant and uplifting for spring, while the vanilla and warm musky base transition well into fall. It remains wearable in summer but the sweetness can be a bit much for high heat, and it is not quite rich enough for deep winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and inviting sweetness make it ideal for dates and casual outings, while its clean white floral tone is office-appropriate without being overwhelming. It is less suited to sporty or highly formal occasions.
