When to wear it
Built for Indian cities and India's seasons. Pick a fragrance and a city - scores are weather-suitability estimates (0–100), not a rating of the perfume itself, based on India's typical temperature, humidity and rain plus the fragrance's character.
Why these scores: Rich, warm, amber-woody profile — comfortable across mild temperatures; drops above ~26°C.

Best month: Nov (Autumn)
Good - 79/100 during night in Kolkata.
Drives it up: Rain is a great match (98/100). Holds it back: Fragrance-to-weather fit is the weakest factor (44/100). Fair - generally wearable; apply lightly or consider the setting.
Better suited to Kolkata
Encre Noire tops out at 64/100 here — these perform better:
Monthly scores are typical monthly suitability - calibrated for India's climate from long-term averages (2015 up to today, Open-Meteo, for this city) - not a forecast. A given year can run hotter, cooler or wetter; the Right now card uses today's live weather. Scores estimate weather suitability only - they say nothing about quality, longevity or projection.
12-month suitability
Amber = Day, Indigo = Night, heat-coloured line = Overall (green = best → red = worst). Fixed 0–100 scale; missing scores are gaps, never zero.
