Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and is noticed mostly by those nearby. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.
It opens fresh and spicy with cardamom and grapefruit, softened a little by bergamot. The heart brings vetiver absolute and orange blossom for a floral turn, and it dries down on frankincense, suede and patchouli. Powdery and creamy shades round out the accords.
