Reviewed profile
Rose, mimosa and hyacinth over amber and cedar. Cool and open, dry throughout. It reaches past the wearer without filling a room.

The Signature
Unmistakable. Always has been.
You arrived with a signature and you've never needed to explain it. Consistency is its own kind of confidence. Some things become part of the room before you do.

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.
