Our take

The oakmoss and vetiver anchor here pull hard enough that the bright tangerine and pepper opening fades faster than you expect, leaving the green galbanum and wildflowers to carry a weight they cannot quite hold on their own.

The scene stays with you as you walk further, the neroli and jasmine sambac lingering in the air you leave behind, the galbanum still sharp against the warm, resinous base that refuses to fade while the sunlight dances on the
