Modelled profile
Sun-warmed mango and clary sage open into a base of tonka and patchouli. There's a smooth, slightly sweet warmth here, more suede than gourmand. Balanced and unfussy, sitting close with quiet confidence.

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.
