Does French Lover lean more toward a summer or winter fragrance?+−
It is most popular during the spring and fall. Its green, botanical opening suits the freshness of spring, while the incense, vetiver, and woody base notes provide enough depth for the cooler temperatures of fall and early winter.
How does this fragrance perform in terms of longevity and sillage?+−
Performance is generally solid, typically lasting between six and seven hours on the skin. The sillage is moderate; it projects noticeably for the first hour before settling into a more intimate, sophisticated skin scent.
Is this a good choice for a professional office environment?+−
Many users highly recommend it for business and daily wear. Its dry, unsweetened profile is seen as serious and polished, avoiding the cloying nature of many modern "blue" or gourmand fragrances.
Why was this scent previously called Bois d'Orage?+−
French Lover was released in the United States under the name Bois d'Orage (Storm Wood), which many enthusiasts feel better describes its dark, earthy, and woody character. The juice inside the bottle remains the same regardless of the name.
