Modelled profile
Incense and dry woods over a bright citrus opening, with rose lending a faint floral warmth. Cool and meditative, the smoke stays airy, an understated resinous shape.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
