THE PUBLISHED SCENT NOTES

  • Cypress
  • Frankincense
  • Vetiver

INTENSITY

Close to moderate

Everyday wear, cooler weather and evenings when you want presence without sweetness.

THE EDITOR’S VERDICT

The forest-like cypress, incense and vetiver profile feels restrained, distinctive and easy to understand. It earns its place as the least conventional everyday option in the edit.

WHY I WOULD PASS

The damp, smoky opening will not suit someone looking for a bright citrus or conventional fresh fragrance. Sample it on skin first.

WHAT QWD CAN SUPPORT
