By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is busy and unmistakably summery: pineapple and peach lean tropical-sweet while lavender, rosemary, lime, petitgrain, bergamot, grapefruit, and galbanum crowd the upper register with a herbal-citrus rush. Nutmeg adds a quiet warm thread.
The heart streamlines: jasmine, freesia, and clary sage hold a clean white-floral and aromatic axis, the sage keeping the florals from going sugary.
Olibanum at the base lends a dry, slightly smoky resin, while amber, patchouli, Virginia cedar, and musk anchor it with woody-resinous warmth. Overall character: an aromatic-fougère-meets-tropical-fruit cologne with a resinous drydown. Projection is strong for the first hour as the lavender-citrus burst peaks, then settles to a steady moderate radius for many hours.
