Scent Depot Score™

6.9/10

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

Balanced warmth and freshness: engaging without cloying when applied moderately.
Solid community longevity with a smooth, pleasant dry‑down.

Things to know

You dislike boozy nuances (vodka/gin) in fragrance.
You need a quiet, strictly office‑safe daily scent.
