Scent Depot Score™

Very good

Strong category choiceA bright citrus-and-spice opening (bergamot, lemon, pink pepper, ginger) shifts to an incensey aromatic heart (olibanum, lavender, geranium, sage) and settles into a woody-amber base sweetened by vanilla and tonka. Expect roughly 6–8 hours with strong sillage, making it better for evenings and cooler weather.

More Information
Key strengths
  • Clear, resinous-aromatic identity from olibanum and herbs over a warm woody-amber base.
  • Retailer-cited strong sillage supports evening presence without over-spraying.
  • Accessible U.S. pricing around $33 for 100 mL EDP increases value-for-money.
Things to know
  • You prefer office-safe, low-sillage scents; strong scent trail.
  • Incense/olibanum or aromatic herbs (lavender/sage) are not in your comfort zone.
  • You mainly need a high-heat summer daily driver; fall/winter and nights are the sweet spot.
