  A top-tier fragrance that, after testing it over several days in various conditions and times, convinced me to buy the full bottle. It’s distinguished and discreet, unisex, though it might be too heavy for those who prefer something softer and floral. It’s perfect for men and women who want to exude elegance and kindness (not for kids, but for experienced men who give generously without needing to prove anything). The scent reminds me of a night walk beside a river, where freshly cut grass, plants, flowers, and wet fruit trees blend together, likely due to the combination of ginger, peony, and roses. Ideal for an afternoon or evening at the theater watching ballet, blending with the venue’s refinement rather than imposing itself (*note: I unconsciously associate it with Monet’s works and Tchaikovsky’s second act*). The longevity is exceptional on my skin, lasting the entire workday without needing reapplication. It’s more noticeable in the sillage than in the direct projection (which is just over a meter indoors, while the sillage is detectable several meters away). I see it as versatile: from strolling in the park or walking with a partner, to the office in casual or semi-formal attire, and even to complement a formal suit. It works well in gardens and enclosed spaces (more so during the day than at night), though in overly airy places it doesn’t perform as it should. If you try it, I believe it’s a work of art worth the investment—the most artistic release from this new house (Maison Catherine) so far, setting a very high bar for their other fragrances.
