The take

What works

  • Fruity-chypre that escapes the too-sweet trap with its patchouli grounding
  • Strong compliment magnet with broad demographic appeal
  • Four-season versatility with a spring-summer lean

Trade-offs

  • Fruity opening can read youthful — not for everyone
  • Very popular, so recognizability cuts both ways
