By the editors · 2 min readBergamot slices through the opening with a metallic-green edge that quickly warms as rose petals arrive, their honeyed velvet softening the citrus without erasing its snap. Leather enters next, a matte hide that wraps the bloom, turning what began as a bright cologne into something drier and more private. The wood tandem of sandalwood and cedar layers beneath, adding creamy warmth and a pencil-shaving rasp that keeps the leather from growing too supple. Musks settle last, a clean skin dust that blurs seams and leaves a gentle suede haze hovering just above the body. Projection stays within arm’s length for most of the day, tilting it toward cool-weather offices or quiet weekend errands rather than summer heat.
