Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Given its heavy sillage and smoky, resinous profile, this scent is generally considered too potent for a professional office environment. It is better suited for evening occasions, formal events, or leisure time during the colder months.
How long does the scent typically last?+−
This is a high-concentration fragrance known for exceptional longevity. It often lasts through an entire day and can stay anchored to fabrics and coat collars for several days after the initial spray.
Does the raspberry note make it smell like a gourmand?+−
No, the raspberry functions more as a textured sweetener for the leather and oud rather than a dessert-like note. It adds a tart, dark fruitiness that prevents the birch and suede from becoming overly harsh.
How does it perform in different seasons?+−
The fragrance is best experienced in the fall and winter. The heavy base notes of ambergris, myrrh, and labdanum thrive in low temperatures, whereas heat and humidity can make the smoky and spicy accords feel overwhelming.
