A sprawling aromatic fougere of lavender, herbs and citrus over carnation, rose, leather and moss. It's layered and old-school, warm and complex without turning heavy. A richly built classic that unfolds slowly.

Tenere carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
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.
