By the editors · 2 min readA vibrant citrus medley of lime, orange, lemon, and grapefruit creates an energetic, tangy opening that feels instantly refreshing. Sage and thyme introduce a green herbal sharpness, while cinnamon and cardamom bring warm, aromatic spice that deepens the heart. The base is richly woody with sandalwood and cedar, supported by oakmoss's earthy greenness and labdanum's resinous amber warmth, all smoothed by white musk. This scent evolves significantly from bright citrus to a complex spicy-woody aromatic blend. Projection is strong initially, filling personal space, then mellows to a moderate radius with all-day longevity. Ideal for fall and winter formal or evening events in cool to cold conditions.
