Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Yes. Due to its moderate sillage and the dry, woody influence of cedar and frankincense in the base, it maintains a professional profile that is unlikely to overwhelm colleagues.
How does the plum note compare to other sweet perfumes?+−
The plum in this fragrance is "caramelized," meaning it has a darker, slightly burnt-sugar depth rather than a bright, fresh juice quality. This is balanced by pink pepper and cardamom to keep the sweetness sophisticated.
Which seasons are best for wearing In the City of Sin?+−
It is most popular during the spring and autumn. The fruity notes bloom in the warmth of spring, while the spicy cardamom and resinous frankincense provide a cozy character for cooler fall days.
Does this fragrance lean more floral or more woody?+−
While it is classified as a floral fruity, many wearers find the dry down to be quite woody. The cedar and patchouli provide a sturdy, earthy foundation that lingers long after the initial floral notes have faded.
