ACE

The 30ml Ace is a good size for the office drawer or the car. It’s the same scent as our 50ml, inspired by Bleu de Chanel, in a bottle that is easier to carry.

The notes are simple. Fresh citrus at the start, aromatic woods in the middle, then amber and incense once it settles. You get 12 to 14 hours from it.

Ace is mild enough for a closed office room. It is fresh but it has enough weight from the incense that it doesn’t vanish by lunch.

Not sure about top, middle and base notes? We explained them in plain words in perfume notes explained.

Apply it after a shower when your skin is still slightly damp. That helps any perfume hold on longer. Two sprays on the neck and one on the wrist is a good amount for the office. For a wedding or dinner, add one more on your clothes.

Price is Rs 1,650. If you finish a bottle and want more, the Ace 50ml costs less per ml. Delivery is free in Pakistan, and exchanges are accepted within 7 days.
