Reviewed profile
Lavender and sage lead into dry patchouli and soft tonka, warmer and deeper than the EDP but still restrained. It reads clean and masculine with a quiet sweetness. Composed and versatile.

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.
