Limited community signal on this one. Take with a grain of salt.
Skip unless you are specifically interested in a fresh, green scent; better options exist.
Too new for a strong community consensus yet. Early reviews mention a fresh and citrusy opening with bergamot and vervain, followed by a unique heart of fennel and hedione that some find intriguing. The base of matcha tea and musk adds a soft, powdery finish that users describe as calming and refreshing. However, opinions are mixed on its longevity and projection, with some feeling it fades too quickly. Overall, it seems to appeal to those who enjoy fresh and green scents, but may not satisfy everyone.

Longevity

Projection
4.0 / 10

LongevityExpect around four to five hours of wear before it starts to fade. It lingers on light fabrics for a while longer.
ProjectionInitially fills a small space, but settles closer to the skin after the first hour. A gentle presence that invites closer interaction.
