Is 8 88 more suitable for men or women?+−
It is a true unisex fragrance. While it has herbal and spicy elements often found in masculine perfumery, such as coriander and laurel, the creamy amber and powdery geranium dry down give it a softness that appeals to all genders.
How does the "metallic" accord feel during wear?+−
The metallic quality comes from the combination of Safraleine and geranium. It doesn't smell like raw iron, but rather a polished, "golden" sheen that gives the spices a sharp, clean clarity instead of a dusty or heavy kitchen-spice feel.
Can this be worn as a daily office fragrance?+−
Yes. Because its sillage is restrained and it lacks the heavy, cloying sweetness of many amber fragrances, it is highly suitable for professional environments and daily errands.
How does 8 88 perform in hot weather?+−
While it is most popular in the spring and fall, its dry, airy spice profile prevents it from becoming overwhelming in summer heat, provided it is applied moderately.
