Reviewed profile
Bergamot and nutmeg open bright over a deep vetiver heart, tobacco and leather threading through moss, myrrh and tonka. Complex and refined, this vintage vetiver feels textured and masculine, earthy from top to 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.
