What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

Sephiroth is intelligent and respects those he deems worthy—he considers Professor Gast Faremis a great scientist, but scorns Professor Hojo. Well-spoken and graceful, Sephiroth is calm, collected, and in control, and has a dry sense of humor. Rarely, he can be frustrated and caught off-guard. As the strongest SOLDIER alive, Sephiroth is confident to the point of arrogance, yet has no interest in personal glory, as he tells Genesis, who envies Sephiroth s reputation, that he can have it.

Following his fall into insanity, Sephiroth retains most of his personality traits, but becomes murderous, ruthless and vengeful. He develops a messiah complex, proclaiming to be the chosen one destined to lead the Planet. He becomes sadistic and enjoys mentally torturing Cloud. Sephiroth is devoted to Jenova and its cause, even though its body serves as little more than his avatar. He has become an agent carrying out Jenova s will.

Like Sephiroth s calm and collected demeanor (with later falling into insanity), the blend of mandarin, fresh greens, lavender, oakmoss, mahogany woods, pepper, musk, and amber creates a refreshing yet spicy fragrance that is close in tune with his transforming personality.
