Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best in autumn and winter; can work on cooler spring days for leather lovers. Sillage is Moderate projection, forming a close but noticeable aura rather than a loud trail (estimated). Longevity is Long-lasting on skin for many wearers, with the leather-incense accord lingering well into the drydown (estimated).
