By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain snaps open with a bitter-green flash that quickly folds into lemon-cardamom effervescence, creating a citrus-aromatic shimmer that feels more cologne than cologne. The heart swaps brightness for lavender’s cool steel, sharpened by jasmine’s indolic lift and softened by lily-of-the-valley watercolour; rose barely whispers, acting as a floral glue rather than a soloist. Oakmoss and vetiver ground the accord early, so the dry-down arrives as a muted chypre skeleton where musk fills cracks with clean skin instead of animal growl. Projection stays within handshake range for five hours, then collapses to a laundered-shirt oakmoss skin scent. Office-safe spring through early-fall, especially on breezy commutes.
