By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a brisk, slightly bitter peel that feels more pith than juice, setting a cool, matte tone. Lavender arrives quickly, drying the citrus down to a steel-blue aromatic layer that sharpens the edges and keeps the composition airy. Vetiver threads through the heart, adding a rooty, smoky green that darkens the lavender without turning heavy. Benzoin and amber fuse in the base, creating a powdery, resinous warmth that softens the vetiver’s bite and leaves a skin-close, grey-amber haze. Projection stays polite, a one-arm-radius scent perfect for office or spring travel. Wear it when you want clean depth without sweetness; it lasts about six hours before folding into a faint mineral-wood trace.
