However, some find the drydown to be less appealing, with earthy and woody notes that can feel heavy or dated.

LongevityLasts about six hours on skin, with a gentle fade after the first few hours. It may linger longer on clothing, especially with its woody base.

ProjectionStarts with an arm's-length cloud, then settles in closer after the first hour. It's noticeable but not overwhelming.
