By the editors · 2 min readA briny seaweed opening arrives alongside grapefruit and bergamot, giving the first moments a cool, slightly marine edge. Patchouli and osmanthus settle in underneath, softening the aquatic lift with a hint of apricot-skin warmth from the osmanthus.
The base is where this fragrance finds its weight. Sandalwood, vetiver, birch, incense, and frankincense converge into a resinous, lightly smoky dry-down. The patchouli threads through every stage, keeping a quiet earthiness throughout without turning dark.
Overall this reads as a clean, woody-aquatic masculine with resinous depth. The contrast between the fresh opening and the incense-forward base gives it modest but genuine structure.
