The take

What works

  • Cardamom-cypress opening is cool, precise, and effortlessly masculine
  • Suede-leather-iris heart gives it a refined minimalism that's rare at the price
  • Parfum concentration delivers restrained but impressive longevity

Trade-offs

  • Quiet projection for a Parfum — not the room-filler the concentration implies
  • Underappreciated relative to its quality, but that may improve with time
