By the editors · 2 min readLime and grapefruit snap open with a tart, almost bitter edge that the fig immediately softens into a green, milky pulp. Cedar in the heart keeps the structure dry, stopping the fruit from turning jammy while adding a clean pencil-shave texture. As the top fades, plum darkens the accord, its juicy skin folding into benzoin’s warm resin and a quiet leather that smells like suede brushed with fruit skin. The dry-down stays close: musk fluffs the remaining woods and plum into a faintly sweet, skin-warmed dust that lingers several hours. Projection stays polite, a one-arm-hug radius, perfect for summer offices or weekend errands from spring through early fall.
