Six for longevity against five for projection, like its feminine counterpart — both were built not to impose. The yuzu up top is what to look for: a Japanese citrus more bitter than lemon, and it is what dates the fragrance in the good sense. Four sprays in summer; it tires no one.

Not rated yet — be the firstYuzu and mandarin open onto a nutmeg-laced water lily, closed by sandalwood, vetiver and amber. The masculine half of the aquatic floral, pulled toward citrus and wood rather than flowers.
