Reviewed profile
Anise and carnation give an old-world softness that folds into violet and a powdery vanilla. Warm and slightly melancholy, it feels like a memory held at close range, quiet and tender.

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.
