By the editors · 2 min readCut grass opens green and almost juice-bitter — that just-mowed-lawn impression carries the entrance with a clean, slightly sharp freshness. There is no citrus to soften it, just the green vegetal lift.
Lavender enters in the heart with a clean aromatic register, and gardenia adds an unusual creamy-floral counterweight. The pairing is unexpected — green grass and white floral don't often share a space — and the result feels both barbershop-fresh and quietly floral.
Sandalwood and musk anchor the drydown softly, without pushing the composition warmer or sweeter. The overall character is a green-aromatic cologne with a floral whisper underneath, reading as classical and casual rather than dressed-up. Daytime in feel, light in projection, simple in structure.
