Very good
Strong category choiceA fresh–spicy citrus and ginger opening leads quickly to a distinctive rooibos‑tea heart wrapped in soft suede; it dries down to cedarwood, amberwood and cashmeran with a clean, slightly powdery warmth. Expect moderate performance for most (roughly a workday on skin) with stronger presence in the first couple of hours.
