The fragrance is widely recognized for its exceptional longevity and powerful sillage, with most enthusiasts agreeing it is one of the more potent performers in the Privé collection.

It is frequently discussed as a specialized cold-weather scent, with a strong consensus that it is best reserved for winter, late autumn, and formal night-out occasions rather than casual daytime use.
