Performance & Scent Profile
-
Opening: A bright, effervescent burst of citrus — lemon, mandarin, and bergamot dominate with a fresh green herbal edge (rosemary, lavender). Perfume Reporter –+2Tom Ford Beauty+2
-
Heart: Neroli and orange blossom emerge as the citrus softens. The floral heart is clean, slightly sweet, but never heavy. Perfume Reporter –+2Best Men’s Colognes+2
-
Dry Down: Wood and amber elements provide a warm, soft finish. The base remains light and elegant rather than deep or intense. Perfume Reporter –+3Fragrantica+3Best Men’s Colognes+3

Projection & Longevity: Starts lively and projects in the early hours. Over time it becomes more subtle and close to the skin. Many users report moderate staying power, often fading after a few hours. Basenotes+3Best Men’s Colognes+3Fragrantica+3
