By the editors · 2 min readSamourai opens with pink pepper and cedar together — a dry, lightly spiced introduction that leans more woody than sharp. The pepper stays restrained rather than aggressive.
The heart introduces jasmine, rose, lemon, and bergamot in combination. The result is a floral-citrus accord with soft brightness; the lemon and bergamot keep the jasmine from going heavy or heady, while rose adds quiet depth.
Sandalwood and vetiver form a clean, dry base with a light earthy undertone. The overall character is a balanced, moderately formal floral-woody masculine leaning toward versatility. Neighbors confirm aromatic and powdery tendencies, though the pyramid itself stays relatively clean and unfussy.
