Spring
Clementine and cool cucumber open bright and watery before cardamom adds a little spice. Tobacco warms the drydown, giving this more depth than its fresh start suggests. It shifts from crisp to smoky, a contrast that keeps it from feeling ordinary.

The Anchor
The Dry Warmth
Warm enough to be felt. Dry enough to mean it.
There is warmth here but nothing soft about it. It arrives without apology and stays without asking. Substance over comfort, every time.

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.
