Scent Depot Score™

6.6/10

Good

Worth consideringA bright citrus-and-pepper opening (bergamot, grapefruit, pink pepper, elemi) shifts into a warm heart of cinnamon, saffron and a distinct bell-pepper nuance, drying down to softer leather, tobacco and vetiver. Point to moderate longevity and sillage, not a powerhouse wear. Expect a spicy–fruity start that turns darker and drier over time.
