By the editors · 2 min readLime, lemon and bergamot fuse into a single, high-pitched citrus flash that feels more candied than zesty, its sweetness trimmed by lavender’s cool, camphor-edged stalk arriving within minutes. That aromatic heart steers the composition away from cologne territory, adding a soap-bar cleanliness that quietly mutes the remaining citrus oils. Cedar’s dry pencil-shaving wood enters early in the dry-down, coupling with oakmoss’s muted green bitterness to produce a matte, forest-floor accord that lacks any creamy or resinous buffer. The result is a spare, vertical structure: bright opening, crisp aromatic centre, then cool woods that stay close to skin. Projection drops to whisper range after two hours, making it office-safe yet short-lived. Best worn in mild weather when a brisk, barbershop freshness is wanted without sweetness or heft.
