Best season for Bronze
The best time of year to wear it is summer and winter. It is less suited to fall. Ranked by season: summer, winter, spring and fall. If you need something for fall, Slava Zaitsev Maroussia is a better fit. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.

It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Slava Zaitsev Maroussia has more depth.
Bronze sillage
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Joop! and Dior Fahrenheit spread further.
