Scent Depot Score™

6.5/10

Good

Worth consideringA bright kumquat–pine opening, an airy cyclamen/jasmine/patchouli heart, and a soft sandalwood/rosewood–white musk–amber dry‑down. Performance skews moderate: commonly 3–6 hours with a polite trail; some report more in warm weather. Overall vibe is a fresh, citrus‑woody take reminiscent of Ed Hardy Love & Luck at a budget price.
