Does Geste have a strong projection?+−
While it is long-lasting, Geste is known for moderate sillage. It tends to stay relatively close to the wearer, making it suitable for office settings or close-encounter situations where you want to smell refined without overpowering the room.
Is this considered a "sweet" floral fragrance?+−
Not in a modern gourmand sense. While it features violet and amber, the sweetness is tempered by musky notes and the dry, balsamic quality of pine resin, giving it a more natural and resinous profile than a sugary one.
How does the fragrance change throughout the day?+−
It is noted for a "180-degree turn" in its development. It begins with a fresh, powdery violet and citrus-like brightness before transforming into an earthy, resinous, and woody scent during the drydown.
Is Geste a good choice for hot summer weather?+−
While it is often worn in the spring and summer, some find the resinous amber and musk base too heavy for high heat. It is most frequently recommended for the crisp, mild weather of spring or the transitional cooling of fall.
