Scent Depot Score™

6.6/10

Good

Worth consideringA fresh-green, peppery opening (ivy, bergamot, mineral nuance) that settles into suede and jasmine before drying down to a soft woody-amber with tonka smoothness. Projection is close and longevity averages mid-range (roughly 4–6+ hours reported), giving an intimate, cozy aura rather than room-filling strength.

More Information

Key strengths

Distinct ivy/bergamot lift over a suede–amber base creates a modern, wearable fresh-spicy amber profile.
Cozy, non-offensive character excels for dates and casual settings.
Good value when found at discount; several reports cite low outlay for 100 ml.
Versatile across spring/fall and cool summer evenings with a polished softness.

Things to know

You prefer loud, long-lasting ‘beast mode’ scents—this wears close and may feel modest on skin.
You’re sensitive to pepper/white floral facets; several users reported pepper or floral elements as headache-inducing.
You need extreme-heat performance; the amber/tonka base can feel muted or cloying in hot midday sun.
Availability can be inconsistent as this was a 2015 limited edition flanker.
