Cardamom and mandarin orange open it cool and bright. In the heart, mugwort, lavender and sage bring a green, aromatic feel. Vetiver, leather and sandalwood settle it onto a woody base, while the sweet accord softens the edges.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and sport, leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. It reads masculine. Penhaligon's Endymion and Stefano Ricci Firenze have a close profile.
