Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though only a few people have voted. It wears close and light, as a cologne usually does.
It opens fresh and citrusy with lemon and bergamot. Rose and thyme in the heart add a green, spicy edge. In the base, patchouli, benzoin and sandalwood pull the scent towards woody, earthy and slightly smoky ground.
