Reviewed profile
Aldehydes lift a green hyacinth top over oakmoss and iris for a dry, mossy chypre elegance. Cool and refined, it carries a vintage composure. Sophisticated and restrained.

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.
