Honey pomelo gives a fruity sweetness at first. In the heart, tobacco leaf and fig build a green, creamy mood. In the base, sandalwood and vetiver form a woody, earthy ground, while salt pulls it towards something dry and lightly salty.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, then spring, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex.
