Is Otimo suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Given its "loud" character and heavy gourmand notes like praliné and rum, most find it too bold for a confined office setting. It is better suited for evening social events or outdoor winter activities where its strong sillage can breathe.
How does the tobacco note come across in this fragrance?+−
The tobacco is not a harsh or "ashtray" style note. Instead, it acts as a dry, slightly smoky counterbalance to the intense sweetness of the vanilla and tonka bean, adding a layer of maturity to the scent.
Can Otimo be worn in the summer?+−
While fragrance is subjective, the community generally finds this scent too "cloying" and dense for high heat. Its sweetness and creamy texture are designed to cut through the cold of winter and autumn.
Does the citrus-like quince note last throughout the wear?+−
The quince is most prominent in the opening, providing a tart, fruity counterpoint to the rum. As the fragrance dries down, it recedes to make way for the heavier base notes of cedarwood and vanilla.
