Application Tips
For best results, apply this fragrance in the morning when its fresh aromatic top notes will energize your day. The warm spicy base notes develop slowly, so a light spritz to the pulse points is sufficient. This scent reads better close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for daytime wear.
