By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is crisp and pale: white grapefruit cut with the snap of black pepper, a citrus bite that feels clean rather than sharp. This brightness doesn't linger long before frankincense appears, its resinous warmth shifting the fragrance from fresh to contemplative. Vanilla rounds the edges without sweetening heavily, a subtle backdrop rather than a focal point.
As it settles, sandalwood anchors the composition with a soft, woody dryness. The interplay between frankincense and sandalwood creates a meditative quality, while traces of pepper keep it from becoming too serene. The overall effect is understated and even-tempered, neither particularly complex nor one-dimensional.
This reads as a daytime scent for someone drawn to gentle contrasts—the mineral coolness of citrus and resin against creamy wood. Unisex in the quietest sense, it suits environments where a subtle, composed presence is preferred over projection or drama.
