Citron and juniper open crisp over lavender and geranium, with nutmeg adding spice before sandalwood, patchouli and Ambrox settle the base. It reads cool, dry and woody-aromatic, clean and understated.

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.
