Scent Depot Score™

7.2/10

Very good

Strong category choiceA bright mandarin lift quickly folds into a jasmine‑led white‑floral heart (honeysuckle, lily, tuberose). It dries down to clean patchouli/amber‑wood with soft musk and a touch of vanilla. Expect moderate projection and trail; community wear times often land around 6–8 hours with a softer final skin scent.
