Lush pink pepper and floral opening - the top is floral, yes, but the florals are so juicy that they almost read like a fruit accord to my nose. People describe it as "dense" or "thick" and I think that's apt.
Musk notes come through.
Drydown is a nice amber, gives me musk and sometimes a creamy rose. I can see why patchouli is listed, but its a subtle backdrop to the rose and only if you're really searching for it.
Dignified, not young but not really mature either.
Longevity is decent.

I wore this for spring and summer, and when vacationing to warmer climes, for a couple years. I still enjoy it somewhat, but I reach for it much less often as I gravitate towards more complexity and less femininity in my scents.

A light green herbal scent with a very warm, sweet, almost fruity note in the heart - perhaps this is the amber and the floral white tobacco which makes this a kind of sweet / juicy green scent to me. I can see this working in warm but not swelteringly hot weather. It's nice but I personally prefer something drier.

Gorgeous gentle creamy rose and leather. These scents are blended into a lovely accord and they both present themselves to me equally whenever I smell the scent. They are present in a linear manner from the first spray and last on the skin (and with arm's length sillage) for 10 hours.
Unfortunately, I find the top notes unpleasant - the quince in particular - very fruity and jammy but almost synthetic-candy smelling for the first hour or two, which was a bit of a turn off for me. I'm also not a huge fan of saffron.

Overall, love the dry down, great performance, but personally dislike the fruity top. This is clearly a gorgeous scent, just not for me!

Citrusy start, clear vetiver dry down. I think of this as a "middle of the road" vetiver - not too dank, not too heavy, not too earthy - but not as bright or light or dry as other vetivers I've smelled, like in THoO's Each Other, for example. I found this scent to be fairly straightforward and linear. Citrusy top faded quickly, as these are wont to do, leaving my impressions of this fragrance as mostly just a vetiver. A lovely vetiver, but basic and straightforward nonetheless.

The comparison to Terre d'Hermes is obvious and must be commented on. I found it less complex and interesting than TdH, which I was surprised by. I also found it had less longevity and sillage - also a surprise for me given this is an EDP. Perhaps I went noseblind to it? Also notably that the flinty notes I love so much in TDH are absent here.

I love its fresh, citrusy, green notes. The cedar base really shines, and it stays light and fresh, not weighed down by herbal or vegetal deepness - a sunny breeze passing through the trees rather than standing in the middle of the forest. It's a really beautifully blended scent. It has a delicacy and freshness that I might call vaguely feminine, but I am also looking for something more unisex and tomboyish and I think it has one foot in both of those regions.

Scent is gorgeous but performance leaves something to be desired. It projected pleasantly at arm's length for an hour or so. However I didn't find it very lasting beyond that - I'm really having to hunt for the skin scent by the 2.5 hour mark, which is disappointingly short for me.
