Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters spread it almost evenly across fall, spring and summer, with winter picked least. It leans towards leisure and evening wear.
It opens with bergamot and jasmine sambac. The heart brings white rose bud, pink geranium and spices. In the dry-down, Kashmiri musk, sandalwood and amber settle it onto a woody, powdery base.
