Most voters pick spring and fall; longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It leans towards daily wear and the office, and less towards evenings or nights out.
A fresh, citrusy opening gives way to a floral, lightly fruity and sweet character. The base stays woody, powdery and creamy around the musk, with synthetic and animal facets kept in the background. Louis Vuitton City of Stars and Ex Nihilo In Paradise Riviera have a close profile.
