Good

Worth consideringA bright sea-breeze and yuzu opening, lightly spiced by coriander, moves quickly into a cool mint–clary sage–violet-leaf heart. It settles to soft teak wood with touches of musk/amber for a clean, woody-musky dry down. Expect moderate longevity (~4–6+ hours) and soft-to-moderate projection best in warm daytime wear.
