Scent Depot Score™

Good

Worth consideringA chilled ‘cocktail’ opening—caviar/finger lime, frozen mint and ginger/pepper—quickly meets a vodka/gin heart. It dries down to modern woods (kingwood) with amber/tonka and a soft leather whisper. Expect moderate longevity and a balanced, non‑beast projection tuned for evenings.

More Information
Key strengths
  • Distinctive boozy‑citrus‑mint signature that stands out at night.
  • Balanced warmth and freshness: engaging without cloying when applied moderately.
  • Solid community longevity with a smooth, pleasant dry‑down.
  • Sleek, gift‑friendly presentation from a well‑known designer line.
Things to know
  • You dislike boozy nuances (vodka/gin) in fragrance.
  • You need a quiet, strictly office‑safe daily scent.
  • You live in very hot climates where warm ambers feel heavy.
