Modelled profile
Bright grapefruit and tangerine over eucalyptus and pepper, drying into incense, cedar and vetiver. It reads fresh and spicy-green with a smoky backbone. Crisp and aromatic, with a quiet resinous depth.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
