8-12 hours
Initially strong, projecting an arm's length for the first 2-3 hours. It then gracefully settles to a more intimate, yet still discernible, moderate projection for the remainder of its wear.
Strong to moderate; it creates a noticeable, luxurious scent trail that politely announces your presence without overwhelming a room. It's an inviting aura, not a shout.
When to Wear

Layering Ideas
- To amplify the 'on the rocks' feel, try layering with a light, crisp citrus cologne or a subtle aquatic scent that doesn't overpower the main composition.
- For added depth and warmth, a simple vanilla bean oil or a rich amber essence can enhance the gourmand and woody base, making it even more decadent.
