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.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
