Reviewed profile
Lavender laid over warm amber, sweeter and richer than a plain fougère would suggest. Citrus lifts the top, but the heart is soft, golden and quietly indulgent.

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.
