Reviewed profile
A peppery, citrus-lit opening of yuzu and cardamom over smoky cedar and sandalwood, with incense and leather in the shadows. Aromatic and spiced, it stays dry and refined through a long woody drydown.

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.
