Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is only a rough one. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine.
Sage, linen and cardamom open it with a clean, lightly spiced freshness. White blossoms and iris bring a powdery softness to the heart. The base of ambergris, sandalwood, cedar and musk settles into a woody, creamy, faintly leathery ground.
