By the editors · 2 min readOak opens with a classic citrus-herbal accord: bergamot and lemon bright overhead, juniper and clary sage providing coniferous-green depth, aldehydes lending a clean soapy vintage quality. The heart develops into a well-constructed spiced fougère — lavender, geranium, nutmeg, clove, and black pepper building warmth and structure without ever feeling crowded. The base is the most distinctive section, where oak and coffee meet cedar, vetiver, and patchouli in a genuinely complex woody-earthy accord. For a BBW release, this is thoughtfully layered. Coffee and oak together make the dry-down linger well past what the line typically delivers. A rewarding masculine for those who appreciate the classic fougère form done with more depth than the label suggests.
