Juniper berry and pistachio open it, giving a fresh, green start with a little sweetness behind it. The heart carries Java vetiver and Haitian vetiver, where the woody side comes forward. Cashmeran and labdanum settle underneath as a creamy, warm base.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and it suits nights out and leisure time, with business wear close behind. Most voters read it as masculine. Il Profvmo Lysander and Ralph Lauren Ralph's Club (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
