Projection is also moderate, extending a comfortable arm's length initially before settling closer to the skin. It maintains a consistent, amiable presence for several hours, making it suitable for both intimate settings and more public engagements where subtlety is appreciated.

Layering Ideas
- For added warmth and sweetness: Layer with a vanilla-dominant body lotion or a pure vanilla fragrance oil.
- To enhance the woody facets: Combine with a subtle sandalwood or cedarwood-centric scent.
- For a brighter, crisper opening: A light spray of a pure bergamot or pear-based body mist could complement the top notes.
- To deepen the floral intensity: A touch of a pure tuberose or jasmine soliflore could amplify the heart.
