Scent Depot Score™
Very good
Strong category choiceA bright mandarin–bergamot opening quickly folds into cinnamon and aromatic lavender/sage, then a resinous heart with myrrh and spices. It settles into a warm amber base with musk, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, and vanilla, reading as a classic spicy-amber. Community data often reports above-average longevity and solid sillage, especially in cool weather; expect a noticeable presence if sprayed generously.
