Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. It reads as masculine, with votes for classic and modern as well.
It opens with aldehydes, flintstone and grapefruit, a bright citrus start. In the heart, sage, Sichuan pepper and nutmeg add a green, spicy tone. The base of vetiver, leather and tonka bean settles into a woody, leathery finish. Pascal Morabito Grey Quartz and Dior Aqua Fahrenheit have a close profile.
