A dark-ish peppery-floral opening blast, with the floral side mainly represented by a violet impression; with a slight coating with a soft jasmine and touches of a gentle smokiness added in at
    times.    
    
    The drydown adds a touch of crispness, courtesy of a combination of benzoin and some nutmeg.  
    
    The base is developing a nonspecific woodsiness, which, together with a somewhat bland patchouli combines with the heart notes.  
    
    I get moderate sillage, excellent projection and nine hours of longevity on my skin.   
    
    A pleasant scent for warmer winter days, it is not without original touches, but the generic nature of its ingredients does drags it down a level or two.  Still, quite pleasant overall - in
    an unexciting way, but it is blended well.  3/5.
