Is this a safe choice for someone who usually dislikes patchouli?+−
It depends on what you dislike about the note. If you find patchouli too "green" or medicinal, you may still enjoy Nouveau Genre because the tonka bean gives it a smooth, cocoa-powder sweetness that rounds off the sharp edges.
How does this fragrance perform throughout the day?+−
You can expect strong longevity that persists long after the initial spray. While it doesn't leave an overwhelming trail, it creates a consistent, noticeable cloud around the wearer for several hours.
Can this be worn to the office or is it strictly for evenings?+−
While many enthusiasts prefer it for evenings, nights out, or leisure time because of its depth, its clean white musk base makes it elegant enough for business settings if applied lightly.
Is this a very sweet or "pink" gourmand fragrance?+−
No, it is a woody gourmand. The sweetness comes from the tonka bean rather than fruits or spun sugar, giving it an earthy, spicy quality rather than a candy-like scent.
