A sharp, cool citrus of grapefruit, bergamot and Amalfi lemon over a lavender and iris heart. It stays crisp and austere, with almost no sweetness and a clean, bracing feel. Bright and uncomplicated, it wears like cold water at the start of the day.

Experienced differently as time goes on.
The complexity is there for those who stay with it. Layered, deliberate, quietly evolving. Some kinds of presence take time to understand.

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.
