Style and Wear Guide

Pair it with linen shirts, technical outerwear, relaxed tailoring and clean trainers. Use two to four sprays for offices or close indoor settings. Add one extra spray for outdoor plans or evening wear. EDT gives a lighter, more diffusive result; EDP makes the heart and base feel fuller and generally lasts longer.
