About This Perfume

This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits casual days and the office. Released in 2009.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $15.
