Scent Depot Score™
Very good
Strong category choiceA dark, velvety floriental: tart pomegranate/green facets up top, a plush orchid‑lotus heart, and a warm amber‑mahogany‑violet dry‑down smoothed by a cream accord. Moderate-to-strong presence in cool weather; can read heavy in heat. Longtime favorite with some reports of newer bottles wearing softer than older ones.
