Reviewed profile
Ripe pear and blackcurrant lead into orange blossom, jasmine and iris, with patchouli grounding the sweetness. Fruity and full, it reads generous and soft.

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.
