Big Sur features a unique aromatic fragrance that opens with bright top notes of blackberry and pink pepper. The heart reveals a floral bouquet of lavender and rose, while the base combines earthy oakmoss and sweet tonka bean, creating a balanced yet distinctive scent profile suitable for both men and women.

Big Sur is crafted as an Eau de Parfum (EdP), which typically offers good longevity. You can expect this fragrance to last around 6 to 8 hours, depending on skin type and environmental conditions. As for sillage, it has a moderate presence, providing a noticeable aura without being overwhelming, making it perfect for day-to-day wear or special occasions.

Big Sur's aromatic and fresh scent makes it versatile enough for both casual and formal occasions. Its bright top notes make it particularly suitable for spring and summer, although the warm base notes allow it to transition well into fall. Whether you’re heading to a beach picnic or a dinner party, Big Sur is a great choice.

For the best effect, apply Big Sur to pulse points like your wrists, neck, and behind the ears. These areas emit heat, enhancing the fragrance. It’s advisable to spray after showering when your skin is clean and slightly damp, as this helps the scent last longer. Remember not to rub your wrists together after applying, as this can break down the notes.

Big Sur stands out among unisex fragrances with its distinctive blend of fruity top notes and floral heart, coupled with a robust, earthy base. Compared to other unisex options, it embodies a more aromatic and nature-inspired theme, reminiscent of a coastal atmosphere, which differentiates it from more sweet or citrus-dominated scents in the genre.
