Performance, Season and Occasion

Estimated longevity: approximately 5–7 hours, depending on concentration, skin chemistry, temperature, humidity, clothing and spray count. EDT is lighter and more breathable for daytime or warm weather; EDP gives the heart and base greater weight and is usually the better choice for long workdays, evenings and cooler conditions. Performance is an estimate rather than a fixed guarantee.

Best suited to spring, autumn and mild winter. Recommended settings include creative offices, concerts, casual dates, bars and city evenings. For close-contact offices, public transport, classrooms or restaurants, begin with one or two sprays. For outdoor events or evening wear, add one spray to the chest or back of the neck.

Western Style Pairing

Pair it with a leather jacket, black denim, graphic knit, Chelsea boots or minimalist streetwear. Match the clothing to the scent’s mood rather than over-accessorising.

Who will enjoy it: This profile suits wearers who appreciate aromatic, oriental / spicy, woody fragrances and prefer a composition with a clear beginning, middle and drydown. It can be worn as a personal signature or rotated within a seasonal fragrance wardrobe.
