Lemon, bergamot and mint open bright over ginger, nutmeg and herbs, drying down to vetiver, sandalwood and amber. It stays cool and clean, a fresh aromatic with a classic, unfussy character.

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.
