What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Mandarin opens things up with a brief citrus spark before juniper steps in to add a dry, almost resinous green edge — this is where the freshness lives, and it doesn't last long. Cinnamon arrives quickly, warming the heart with spice that reads as intimate rather than aggressive. The dry-down settles into cedar and sandalwood backed by amber, which pulls everything into a smooth, slightly sweet woodiness that wears close to skin with moderate sillage. Projection is restrained without being shy — a personal, confident radius. — Best worn in fall and winter; tailored for men who want warmth without sweetness overrunning the spice.
