citrus aromatic · 1995
Notes carried over from an earlier source and not independently checked.
These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.
Modelled profile
Amalfi lemon and pine over lavender, tea and jasmine give this a crisp, herbal freshness above soft sandalwood and tonka. It stays cool and light, an easy citrus-aromatic that never asks much of the wearer.

The Purist
The Crisp Presence
Crisp, clear and impossible to miss.
The choice was always going to be precise. High presence, clean lines, nothing left to chance. You knew exactly what you were doing.

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.
