Modelled profile

Pink pepper lifts a jasmine sambac heart, warmed by benzoin, tonka and vanilla underneath. Sandalwood and musk give it a soft woody base, a gentle floral-musk that feels warm and close.

Texturedense0.72

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.45

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.
