Salted pistachio leads at the start, while cardamom and violet leaf in the heart add a spicy, green edge. Maté and Saffiano™ in the base settle the scent onto a woody, creamy foundation where the fresh and sweet sides find their balance.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with leisure and daily wear leading and business and evening also getting votes. It reads more masculine than feminine, with a modern feel.
