Reviewed profile
Rooty iris and violet over a thread of leather give this a cool, powdery poise. Aldehydes add lift, and the effect is quiet, dry and a little enigmatic.

No. 18 stays close to the skin, worn for the wearer first. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for projection across 5,320 scored fragrances.
No. 18 sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 93rd percentile for risk across 5,320 scored fragrances.
No. 18 carries body without weight, present without filling a room. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.
No. 18 keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 30th percentile for sweetness across 5,320 scored fragrances.
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.
