Community take

Limited community signal on this one. Take with a grain of salt.

Skip for now unless you're curious about its unique profile.

Too new for a strong community consensus yet. Early reviews mention a bright citrus opening with pomelo and lemon, followed by a sweet and creamy heart of tonka bean and jasmine. Some users appreciate the unique salty aspect, while others find it confusing. The drydown features a warm vanilla and woody base, which some love for its depth, but others feel it lacks longevity. Overall, opinions are still forming as more people try it out.

LongevityLasts about six hours on the skin, fading gently by the end of the day. You'll likely need a refresh before heading out again.

ProjectionCreates an arm's-length cloud initially, then settles in closer as it develops. A subtle presence that can be noticed with a lean in.
