Victoria · 2023

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means this should be read with caution.

In the heart, coriander, cedarwood, vetiver and oud bring a dry woodiness. The base of musk, amber, vanilla and myrrh sweetens it and settles into a soft, resinous finish.
