Reviewed profile
Vetiver leads a woody chypre, cooled by lemon, bergamot and orange up top and lavender for a herbal edge. Oakmoss, orris and tonka give a soft dry base, with amber and musk rounding it into an elegant, fresh-woody classic.

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.
