What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a crisp bergamot that fades quickly, giving way to a cool, powdery iris that anchors the heart. The oud here is restrained and clean — no smoke, no barnyard — sitting comfortably beneath the iris rather than dominating it. Cedar adds dry structure in the mid-stage, while ambroxan and musk together drive a skin-close, warm dry-down with genuine staying power. Projection is moderate; sillage lingers softly without demanding attention — best worn in cool weather by someone who prefers quiet sophistication over loud statement-making.
