How it wears
Meander reads as a statement — better suited to evening wear, cooler weather, and contexts where presence is welcome rather than apologised for.
Expect a confident projection without being loud. Apply two sprays to start, add a third only after thirty minutes if the dry-down feels too quiet — this is the cheapest way to find your personal sweet spot without burning through the bottle.
