By the editors · 2 min readLavender dominates the opening, dry and camphoraceous against lemon and berg bergamot's bright snap. The heart folds sandalwood's creamy planks into clove's warming snap, while patchouli adds a dusty, leaf-brown undertone that keeps the blend earthy rather than sweet. Vetiver and thyme surface during the mid-stage, sharpening the wood with a slightly bitter green edge that pushes the amber backward. Dry-down stays woody-spicy, the clove-patchouli tandem lingering longer than the sandalwood, projecting a clean barbershop hum that feels brisk rather than plush. Sillage sits at arm's length for six hours, making it a crisp daytime option for spring through early fall.
