Is Ego Stratis more masculine or feminine?+−
While marketed as a fragrance for men and women, the community often describes it as leaning slightly more masculine due to the aquatic Calone and cedar notes, which mirror traditional "blue" colognes.
How does this perform in cold weather?+−
This fragrance is primarily designed for spring and summer. The citrus and aquatic notes can feel somewhat thin or sharp in winter temperatures, as it lacks the heavy resins or spices needed to cut through the cold.
How does Ego Stratis compare to "Not a Perfume"?+−
Both fragrances share a heavy reliance on ambroxan in the base. However, Ego Stratis adds layers of citrus, blueberry, and marine notes on top, making it much more of a traditional "perfume" with a distinct opening and heart compared to the minimalist molecular structure of Not a Perfume.
What are the best occasions to wear this?+−
It is highly versatile for daytime use, particularly in professional environments or for leisure activities like going to the gym. Its clean, synthetic profile is generally considered office-safe and non-offensive.
