By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens brisk and slightly bitter, its zest slicing through a quieter bergamot that softens the top into a cool, green-tinged citrus haze. Lavender surges forward next, clean and slightly metallic, pulling clary sage’s bittersweet herbal edge into an aromatic heart that feels more barbershop than boutique. Vetiver dominates the base, its dry grass-root smokiness anchoring the composition while patchouli supplies only a muted earthy hum, keeping the tone crisp rather than syrupy. On skin the grapefruit recedes within an hour, leaving lavender to hover over a stony vetiver that stays close and office-polite. Projection remains arm-length for roughly five hours before shrinking to a shirt-collar whisper, a straightforward warm-weather scent for days when you want brisk herbs without marine clichés.
