Is this a good choice for a signature daily scent?+−
While it can be worn daily, the community generally favors this for evenings and nights out during the fall and winter. Its resinous and woody weight can feel a bit heavy for casual daytime use in the heat.
How does the performance compare to other Juliette Has A Gun fragrances?+−
This sits at the higher end of the brand's performance spectrum. Unlike their skin scents or citrus-forward offerings which can be fleeting, this woody-floral is known for lasting throughout the day and into the night.
Is this fragrance more masculine or feminine?+−
Although it contains black orchid, the heavy focus on papyrus, gaiac wood, and liquorice makes it truly unisex. It avoids traditional "perfumy" sweetness, making it just as suitable for men as it is for women.
Are there any specific notes that stand out the most?+−
The liquorice and guaiac wood are the most prominent players. The liquorice gives it a unique spicy kick at the start, while the guaiac wood provides a smoky, resinous finish that defines the long-term wear.
