Modelled profile
A vintage-style chypre built on oakmoss, with kaffir lime and basil giving a sharp green top. Jasmine and ylang soften the middle before leather, civet and spices turn it dark and animalic, dense and challenging in an old-school way.

The Considered Statement

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
