By the editors · 2 min readThe opening draws on cool, resinous aromatics — cypress and juniper cut with a bite of black pepper — landing somewhere between a forest walk and a freshly opened bottle of gin. The heart softens without going sweet: violet leaf brings a green, slightly rooty character, while geranium adds a subtle floral dimension and star anise introduces a faint licorice undercurrent.
Cedar and musk in the base anchor everything with a clean, slightly smoky drydown. Orris root ties the transitions together, lending a quiet powdery note that keeps the fragrance grounded without heaviness. A crisp, aromatic masculine for daytime and mild weather.
