Fortis

The dry-down is where this really shines—that citrus sharpness settles into something warm and spicy, and it holds on my skin for a full workday without turning cloying. It's intense but never loud, which is exactly what I wanted from a extrait.

I wore this to a long day of meetings and the citrus opening stayed sharp and clean for hours, never turning sour or cloying. The extrait concentration really shows—one spray on my wrist was enough to feel its presence without overwhelming the room.

The sillage on this is impressive—two sprays and I could still catch the citrus-spice mix on my jacket at the end of the day. It's intense without being overbearing, which is exactly what I wanted for work.
