What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Bergamot opens things up with a clean citrus lift before violet and orris move in — powdery, cool, faintly rooty, the kind of iris accord that reads refined rather than grandmotherly. Sesame adds a subtle nuttiness in the heart that keeps it from floating away into pure florals. Akigalawood brings a dry, slightly smoky woodiness that anchors everything, while sandalwood and musk warm the dry-down into something creamy and skin-close. Projection is moderate; sillage is polished rather than loud. — Best worn in spring or fall by anyone who wants a sophisticated iris-forward fragrance that earns a second look without demanding attention.

Our own description, written from the note list. How loud it is and how long it lasts are our read, not owner reports.
