It opens with galbanum and bergamot, then moves into the green, fruity heart of Smyrna fig and fig leaf, kept airy by French clary sage and blue gum eucalyptus. The base leans on Haitian vetiver, maritime pine and buffalo grass, leaving a soft, powdery, woody finish.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is a unisex fragrance. Nishane Hacivat and Miller Harris Figue Amère have a close profile.
