Reviewed profile

Grapefruit and rhubarb open tart over a green vetiver and cedar heart, with a touch of vanilla and amber softening the base. It stays cool and crisp, an earthy-fresh woody with clean vetiver at its center.

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.
