What it smells like
The Scent File profile
Opens with a sharp blast of cool mint riding over green apple and a squeeze of lemon — clean, almost edible, with real presence. The heart settles into sweet ambroxan with tonka bean and vanilla pushing warmth underneath, shifting the whole thing from fresh to softly gourmand without losing its crispness. Vetiver and oakmoss keep the dry-down grounded so it never turns cloying. Projection is loud early, then settles into a skin-hugging sillage that carries for hours — Spring and summer nights out, best on someone who leans into bold rather than understated.
