What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Bergamot and mint hit first — clean, slightly sharp, more spa-fresh than bracing. Lavender and rose settle into the heart with a quiet elegance that keeps the floral side restrained rather than pretty; pink pepper adds a dry prickle without stealing focus. The dry-down is where it earns its price: cedar and vetiver ground everything into a smooth, slightly smoky wood base that wears close to skin but maintains steady sillage for five to six hours. Projection is moderate — present without demanding attention — Ideal for warm-weather office wear or a polished date-night option for someone who wants clean and composed over loud.

Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
