Reviewed profile
Juniper, rosemary and sage over a mineral-marine coolness, with pink pepper and cumin adding a faint spiced warmth. Vetiver and cedar dry the base; herbal, stony and bracing, like cool air over rock.

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.
