Reserved AO in detail
AO is made by Reserved.
The style of AO
The strongest accord is fresh (100%), followed by aquatic and floral. You will probably like it if you enjoy fresh and aquatic smells and notes like muguet and amber. Less obvious notes include rose and musk. Perfume fans rate it 3.93 out of 5.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its fresh side keeps it clean and easy.
Longevity on skin
It fades fairly fast, after about 1 to 3 hours on skin, so you may want to spray it again later. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio and Gucci Envy Me last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like amber and black tea are the part that stays longest on the skin.
AO through the year
The best time of year to wear it is spring and summer. It is less suited to winter. Ranked by season: spring, summer, fall and winter. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
