Scent Depot Score™

7.6/10

Very good

Strong category choiceA woody-saffron and bergamot opening quickly turns sweet-amber with caramel, orange and citrus zest. The dry-down rests on ambergris, oakmoss and woods with a lightly spicy edge. Longevity is commonly above-average (community 8.1/10), with projection ranging from moderate to strong depending on skin and climate.

More Information

Key strengths

Versatile within amber-woody contexts: casual to evening with judicious spraying.

Things to know

You dislike animalic ambergris nuances; some perceive a salty/animalic tone.
You want a hot-weather freshie; many recommend this DNA for cooler months.
You expect a violet-flower scent from the name—violet is not listed in the official note pyramid.
