By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens bright and slightly bitter, an immediate citrus flash that feels stripped-down rather than ornate. Basil and clary sage arrive within minutes, adding a green-herbal edge that keeps the citrus from turning sweet; the pairing feels like crushed leaves still holding morning dew. Cedar threads through the heart, lending dry wood shavings that absorb the herbal oils and tilt the scent toward something more tactile than airy. Patchouli dominates the base, earthy and slightly camphoraceous, while clean white musk flattens the labdanum facet that patchouli sometimes carries, leaving a matte, cool finish. On skin the progression is swift: citrus lift, brisk herbal中段, then a muted woody-musk skin scent within three hours. Projection stays close, extending maybe a forearm’s length; it reads like post-shower freshness rather than statement fragrance, ideal for warm spring weekends or a low-key campus coffee run.
