Over 5 years of testing, I have identified three rules:
- For the office: Citrus or green notes (Inspiration, White Tea) — do not irritate colleagues.
- For the evening: Eastern chords (Crème de la Crème) with cocoa or sandalwood.
- For freshness: Wood-Fruity Unisex (Sacred Earth).
Important! The fragrance develops on the skin within 20 minutes. Before purchasing, test it in the store — 78% of disappointments are related to skipping this step (data from Sravni.ru).
