Which season is best for wearing Ananda Black?+−
It is a versatile fragrance that performs well year-round. However, it is most popular during the fall and spring, as the citrus-floral opening suits the daytime sunshine while the resinous base provides comfort during cooler evenings.
How long does the scent typically last?+−
This fragrance is known for having good longevity, typically staying present on the skin through a full workday or an evening out. The vanilla and benzoin notes in the base tend to linger the longest, leaving a soft, sweet trace on clothing.
