Modelled profile
Dry cedar dusted with cinnamon, ginger and cardamom, warmed by honey, plum and beeswax over vanilla and sandalwood. Spicy and woody with a soft fruited glow, refined and unusual. A quietly sophisticated composition that lingers close and warm.

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.
