This is a good neutral all season fragrance that is similar to the template Chanel, but a little different to be subtly distinct. It lasts a reasonable time around 5-7hrs with the undertones coming out towards the last 2 hrs. Any fragrance requires good layering to last; i.e. lotion or a good moisturizer oil that is neutral their own scents. This fragrance does ok in hot summer, better in fall, winter, and spring; indoors at room temp is perfect. Temps above 85 degrees F will cut down on longevity (faster evaporation) and below 50 degrees F will mute the distinguishable tones.
