Reviewed profile
Tomato leaf and citrus give a green, slightly unexpected opening before a wide floral heart of jasmine, ylang and rose. Suede, sandalwood and amber settle it, keeping the whole thing cool and textured.

The Crisp Presence
Crisp and impossible to miss.
The choice was always going to be precise. Clean lines and nothing left to chance. You knew exactly what you were doing.

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.
