Scent Depot Score™

6.7/10

Good

Worth consideringA bright mandarin–mint–ginger opening shifts to an incensed lotus–cedar heart and soft musky–suede–amber base. Expect moderate longevity with soft projection—office-safe and daytime-leaning rather than loud or dark.

More Information

Key strengths

Clean, modern fresh-spicy-green signature with broad likeability.
Versatile for office and casual use thanks to polite sillage.

You dislike basil/mint or a light incense-lotus facet in the heart.
You expect a ‘dark’ scent from the name—this wears fresh/green instead.
