Basil leads with a crisp, peppery green snap that neroli immediately softens into a cool, slightly soapy leafiness while galbanum injects a sharp, almost resinous bite that keeps the top brisk rather than sweet.

By the editors · 2 min readBasil leads with a crisp, peppery green snap that neroli immediately softens into a cool, slightly soapy leafiness while galbanum injects a sharp, almost resinous bite that keeps the top brisk rather than sweet. Lavender lands quickly, folding the green edges into a clean, slightly camphoraceous barbershop heart that muffles the galbanum’s bitterness and lets the cedar sneak in early as a dry pencil-shaving support. As the herbs fade, patchouli steps forward, earthy and barely sweet, anchoring the lavender in a mossy-woody cushion that stays close to skin and smells more forest-floor than confection. Projection hovers at arm’s length for three hours, then settles into a cedar-patchouli skin musk that feels casual, office-safe, and best under a sweater once temperatures drop below 20 °C.
