Application Tips

This fragrance has a medium sillage and longevity. Start with one or two sprays on pulse points; the green and floral top notes are bright but fade within an hour, making way for the warm base notes that last throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, urban vibe.
