Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Clean, powdery iris leads the opening with a cool, almost soapy clarity — neroli adds a faint citrus lift that fades quickly without drawing attention to itself. The heart settles into a dry, slightly chalky iris core supported by soft incense that adds depth without going smoky. Cedar and vetiver anchor the dry-down with quiet woodiness, while benzyl acetate keeps everything light and slightly synthetic in the best tailored sense. Projection is restrained and sillage stays close to skin — intentionally understated. — Warm-weather office or daytime wear for someone who wants clean and composed over loud.
Bergamot opens with a clean citrus spark that fades quickly, making way for the real story: coumarin in the heart, dense and tonka-like, with a slight powdery sweetness that reads more sophisticated than sugary. Patchouli grounds it without going earthy — it stays smooth, almost leathery — while amber and musk push a warm, skin-close dry-down that lingers for hours. Projection is moderate, sillage intimate, the kind of trail that rewards closeness rather than announcing a room — cold-weather evenings out, best on confident wearers who prefer depth over loudness.
