The middle stays transparent, rosewood lending a soft pencil-shaving warmth that bridges into a quiet base of oakmoss and vanilla. Patchouli sits in the dry-down at trace level, just enough to keep the cologne grounded rather than evaporating cleanly off skin.
Closer to a cologne than a perfume — light projection, short wear, a morning splash for hot weather. The kind of thing that smells of clean linen and a south-facing window rather than of any particular character.
