By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens with a crisp, watery green snap that feels like crushed stems left in cold running water, immediately setting a cool temperature. Bergamot’s citrus edge flashes metallic for five minutes, then the lavender heart slides in, drying the greenery with a clean-barbershop steam that mutes the fruit. Sandalwood and vetiver anchor the base as a pale blond wood accord; the sandalwood’s lactonic cream softens vetiver’s rooty bite, so the scent ends smelling like wet driftwood rinsed by mineral-rich river spray rather than earthy soil. Projection stays within arm’s length for about four hours, making it office-safe yet still recognizably outdoorsy. Works best in spring and early summer mornings when humidity is low and you want shower-fresh without sweetness.
