Someone who expects a bold trail or a dramatic evening presence will find it too quiet, since the woods and musk hold the sweetness near the skin. The balance between nutty accords and soft florals makes it easy to wear daily, and the way the cedar supports the nougat creates a gentle warmth that invites a second
