Black pepper over oak and cedar, dry and crisply spiced. It feels spare and masculine, the pepper sharp against clean wood. Restrained and modern, with a quiet woody core.

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.
