Orange peel over dry woods and salty ambergris, with resinous elemi adding lift. It reads airy and slightly strange, sparkling then softly saline. Distinctive and weightless, with a marine-amber calm.

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.
