Scent Depot Score™

Good

Worth consideringA pepper–grapefruit–lavender opening settles quickly into a creamy, powdery iris–orchid heart over dry cedar, then warms to a woody base of sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and cashmere wood. Expect moderate longevity with a discreet trail that wears closer after a few hours—better in cooler weather and indoor settings.

More Information
Key strengths
  • Comfortable woody–powdery character with distinct stages from top to base.
  • Office/date versatility thanks to a clean aromatic opening and soft trail.
  • Often excellent value at discount retailers relative to quality.
  • Generally perceived as inoffensive and easy to wear in cooler seasons.
Things to know
  • You want strong projection or all-day beast performance—reports often note modest sillage and skin-scent dry-down.
  • Powdery iris or cedar-dominant woods aren’t your taste.
  • You need a summer heat fragrance.
  • You require a current official-store listing; this isn’t on the brand’s present catalog.
