By the editors · 2 min readLavender and bergamot meet in a brisk, slightly metallic aromatic that feels barbershop-fresh yet edged with clary sage’s bittersweet herb. Jasmine arrives quickly, softening the opening with a clean floral lift that prevents the citrus from turning sharp. The base piles on: oakmoss and vetiver give a cool, loamy greenness, leather adds a dry suede pull, while labdanum and amber fuse into a warm, resinous hum that lingers on cloth. Cedar keeps the structure taut, musk blurs the edges, and the overall impression stays crisp rather than plush. Projection sits at polite arm’s length for six-to-eight hours, ideal for office or an autumn dinner. Complexity is moderate, but the moss-leather accord keeps it interesting through the dry-down.
