By the editors · 2 min readBright citrus notes of orange, lemon, and grapefruit open with a fresh zing that quickly recedes. Black pepper introduces a sharp fresh-spicy edge that bridges into the earthy heart. Vetiver and patchouli create a dry, green-woody mid-section with a slightly rooty texture. Oakmoss provides a classic mossy-chypre foundation, complemented by benzoin's faint balsamic sweetness. The dry-down is predominantly earthy-woody with minimal sweetness and moderate projection that stays close to skin. Ideal for spring and fall casual wear, it evolves linearly over four hours with a clean, green character.
