Opens on jasmine and orange, settling into ylang-ylang and vetiver. The character is cool, with a little weight underneath, lightly sweetened. It keeps within arm's reach.

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.
