Reviewed profile
Smoldering incense drifts over cedar, teak and vetiver in a wood-paneled, meditative haze. Immortelle and a trace of coffee add a dark, resinous warmth held together by soft amber. Dense and enveloping, it settles like smoke in a still room.

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.
