Is this fragrance better suited for men or women?+−
While marketed as unisex, its prominent floral notes of lilac and lily of the valley combined with a tart berry accord often lead it to be perceived as leaning slightly feminine. However, the green violet leaf and earthy patchouli base make it wearable for anyone who enjoys fresh, botanical scents.
How does this perform in terms of longevity?+−
Most users find that it has moderate staying power. It provides a noticeable scent bubble for the first few hours but settles into a more intimate skin scent as the day progresses.
Is this a good choice for the office?+−
Yes, it is highly regarded as a professional fragrance. Its clean, fresh profile and moderate projection make it polite for shared workspaces and business meetings.
Does the cocoa note make this a sweet or "gourmand" fragrance?+−
Not at all. The cocoa here is dry and used sparingly in the base to provide texture rather than sweetness. The overall character remains firmly in the floral-fresh and green categories.
