Reviewed profile
Peach and pink pepper over rose, settling into patchouli, vanilla and amber. It reads warm and softly opulent, a fruity-floral with a plush, ambered base.

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.
