Pure Man

Jasmine and cedar in the heart soften the opening's edge while maintaining a dry, slightly aromatic quality. The jasmine here is restrained, more texture than bloom. Sandalwood and vetiver give the base an earthy, warm depth, with benzoin adding slight resinous smoothness. Amber and musk round everything out into a familiar, polished masculine structure.
The result is a composed, citrus-forward aromatic with enough warmth underneath to carry into cooler weather. It projects cleanly without being aggressive and transitions smoothly from opening to drydown.
