The Slow Depth
A rich and warm centre of gravity. Change is part of the journey.
Everything around you may shift but this stays constant. The depth here takes time. It opens slowly and rewards patience. Some things get richer the longer you stay.

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.
