Scent Depot Score™

6.5/10

Good

Worth consideringA bright, peppery citrus opening (lemon, mandarin, kumquat, pink pepper, mint, cardamom) moves into a clean aromatic‑spicy heart (juniper, clary sage, coriander, nutmeg) and settles to a soft vanilla‑teak wood base with a light leather trace. Expect moderate longevity and subtle sillage, with projection strongest early on and tapering after 1–2 hours.

More Information

Key strengths

Things to know
