If a day date can be embodied in a two words, then floral and neutral are it. “When on a day date, you should not wear anything too much in the feminine world. Where it makes a female and a male scenario—one look weaker than the other,” Faulkner says. Instead, he suggests wearing a non-gender specific scent that evokes confidence in the wearer. Being feminine is not a bad thing, but steering towards a ladylike reinvention of floral is best for a day date. Faulkner recommends to his clients to wear Serge Lutens Femenete Du Bois for this type of situation. Feminite Du Bois is a dark, honeyed, no floral scent with candied fruit, and a slow burn of spices, with hints of cedar and flash of violets. Although woody at the start, this signature creation dries down to a ladylike finish – dab a small amount behind your ears and on your pulse points.
