Is B-612 better for men or women?+−
B-612 is genuinely unisex. The lavender, geranium, and herbaceous opening appeals across gender lines, while the woody-spicy heart and creamy base avoid being coded as distinctly masculine or feminine. Wear it confidently regardless of gender—the fragrance itself makes no distinction.
What's the performance like—will it last all day?+−
Yes. As an extrait de parfum, B-612 delivers exceptional longevity, easily lasting 12+ hours on skin. Sillage is strong up close and personal rather than aggressively projecting across a room, making it powerful without being overbearing in professional or intimate settings.
