What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a bright bergamot-ginger burst that reads more citrus-aromatic than aquatic, with sage adding a dry, slightly herbal edge that keeps it grounded rather than sweet. The heart softens through geranium and a white accord that smooths everything into a clean, skin-close freshness. Dry-down is ambergris-light — warm but restrained, more of a polished finish than a heavy base. Projection is moderate and well-behaved; sillage stays personal after the first hour. — A reliable warm-weather daily wear for someone who wants clean without going generic.

Scores are aggregated from community consensus on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones, and Fragrantica. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.

Are the dupe recommendations for Y EDT sponsored?
