By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit crackles first, a bitter-citrus flash that quickly folds into bergamot's softer zest. Violet leaf arrives green and watery, slicing the amber that follows so the accord feels cool rather than resinous; cedar shavings drift underneath, keeping the heart dry and woody. As skin warms, benzoin creeps forward, adding a quiet vanilla-hay sweetness that stays close rather than plush. The overall shape stays linear: bright citrus top, cool mineral amber middle, faintly sweet cedar-benzoin base. Projection hovers at arm's length for four hours, then settles to a skin-whisper of soft woods; best in spring office air or a summer evening balcony.
