Really a vanilla-amber, and the citrus is a doorway rather than the room. Bergamot, lemon and the peppery spice accord give the first stretch a polished golden lift, but they hand over to amber, patchouli and a smooth oud well before the hour mark, and the vanilla-sandalwood base is what you wear for the rest of the day. Buy it for the creamy finish rather than the bright opening. If a citrus fragrance is what you want, the top of this one is too short to carry it.

The opening shortens and the base arrives early. Bergamot and lemon burn off faster in high heat than in cool air, so the golden citrus phase that makes the first impression can be over in minutes rather than half an hour. That leaves amber, patchouli and the vanilla-sandalwood base sitting on warm skin, and those thicken rather than lift. It reads far better after sunset here than at midday, and one spray is plenty in this weather.
