Modelled profile

Golden amber over musk and patchouli, brushed with incense. It is warm and softly animal, a rounded amber that hums close to the skin with a faint smoky depth.

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.
