Scent Depot Score™

6.2/10

Good

Worth consideringA bright citrus pop (bergamot/lemon/mandarin with a cool cardamom wink) quickly settles into sheer florals over a clean tea–musk base. The whole ride stays airy and linear with a soft, close-to-skin trail and modest longevity for an EDT.

More Information

Key strengths

Iconic, widely-appealing unisex freshness anchored by a green-tea signature.
Office- and school-safe profile that reads clean and modern.
Comfortable, easy-wear structure that flatters many skin types and climates (especially warm).
Broad availability and clear note pyramid make it a reliable daily driver or first fragrance.

Things to know

You want strong projection or all-day tenacity—this wears close and may fade faster in cold.
Linearity isn’t your style—you prefer scents that evolve through bold stages.
You dislike citrus or tea facets—the opening is brisk and green-leaning.
You want a distinctive night-out statement—this is more daytime-clean than dramatic.
