Try It Before You Commit
Use the 1 ml sample and track how it evolves on your skin:
-
At ~10 minutes: how strong and clean is the bergamot/saffron/cypress opening?
-
At ~1–2 hours: does the rose/jasmine/nutmeg heart appear distinctly and balance the opening?
-
After ~3–4+ hours: how present and pleasant is the base of oud/sandalwood/leather/vanilla?
Also test in different settings (warm vs cool weather; indoor vs outdoor) and on both skin and clothing to see how the projection and longevity suit you.
