These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Reviewed profile

A vivid citrus opening of clementine and bitter orange over green tea and ivy, orange blossom lending softness. Bright and crisp, it stays fresh and lively.

Warm enough to feel right. Easy enough to forget.

Some choices just work. This one keeps working. The best kind of invisible.

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.
