Scent Depot Score™

6.7/10

Good

Worth consideringA fresh bergamot opening moves quickly into a clean Tunisian orange blossom heart, then settles on warm woods with Ambrofix and a hint of Indonesian patchouli. Expect solid longevity (around community‑rated 7/10) with moderate projection that’s noticeable early and closer‑to‑skin later; the overall ride is smooth and fairly linear.

Things to know

You prefer complex scents with dramatic transitions—the structure here is deliberately minimalistic and can feel linear.
