Scent Depot Score™

Very good

Strong category choiceA crisp green‑citrus start (galbanum, hyacinth, orange, aldehydes, cassis bud) moves into a narcissus‑led floral heart before drying down to a dry, elegant mix of vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, patchouli and amber. Expect above‑average longevity with early strong sillage that settles to moderate projection.

More Information
Key strengths
  • Distinctive green‑floral signature with real evolution from top to base.
  • Polished, office‑friendly presence that still feels characterful.
  • Above‑average longevity for the style; noticeable, tasteful sillage in early wear.
Things to know
  • You prefer sweet/gourmand or modern fruity‑floral profiles—the aldehydic‑green style here can feel sharp or ‘vintage’.
  • You need easy replenishment—brand page lists it as unavailable, so stock varies by market and batch era.
  • You are sensitive to herbaceous notes—rosemary and tagetes read aromatic and can dominate on some skin.
