Orange flower and jasmine over white honey, drawn down into patchouli, rose and Virginia cedar. Warm and radiant, it balances a golden floral sweetness against a dry woody base.

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.
