Modelled profile
Vetiver's dry earthiness meets a toasted hazelnut and tonka warmth, cedar reinforcing the woods. Nutty and smooth, earthy and sweet at once. Rich but never cloying.

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.
