Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Given its strong presence and rich, smoky profile, it is generally better suited for evening wear, nights out, or leisure time during the colder months rather than a professional office setting.
How does the "fossilised amber" note affect the scent?+−
Unlike modern synthetic ambers that can be sugary, the fossilized amber here provides a dry, slightly smoky, and deep resinous character that anchors the sweeter notes like vanilla and tonka bean.
How much projection should I expect?+−
It has a significant presence that fills the immediate personal space quite effectively. It is not shy, so a light hand during application is recommended if you aren't looking to make a bold statement.
Does the citrus in the opening last throughout the wear?+−
No, the bergamot and mandarin are primarily top notes intended to provide a bright introduction. They eventually give way to the heavier resins, though the silver fir helps maintain a crisp, green facet into the mid-wear.
