Scent Depot Score™
Good
Worth consideringA spiced-ginger/cardamom opening with a saffron–mandarin sparkle leads to a distinctive masala-chai heart touched by almond and lotus, settling into a creamy white‑chocolate, sandalwood and tonka dry‑down. Performance is soft—projection is close and many report around 3–4 hours on skin—making it a cozy, office‑friendly warm-spicy gourmand best in cooler weather.
