By the editors · 2 min readOrange, grapefruit, and bergamot open with a brisk, bittersweet citrus accord. The grapefruit adds a slightly sulfurous edge that keeps the brightness from going too cologne-conventional, with bergamot smoothing things into a familiar fresh opening.
Sage, lavender, and Virginia cedar shape the heart with a dry aromatic-herbal character. The sage reads more like dried leaf than fresh, lending a slightly bitter, smoky-green texture. Lavender keeps things classically masculine while cedar previews the base.
Sandalwood, vanilla, tobacco, and more Virginia cedar finish with a warm, smoky-sweet drydown. The tobacco is leafy rather than ashy, and vanilla rounds out cedar's dryness. Overall character: a citrus-aromatic masculine pivoting to a smoky tobacco-vanilla base, suited to cooler-weather evening wear and dressier casual occasions.
