Reviewed profile

Dark berries and blackcurrant meet licorice and rose before folding into vanilla, myrrh and patchouli. The result is a sweet fruity oriental, plush and rounded, warm without turning heavy.

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.
