By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper crackles against galbanum's bitter green bite, the duo sharpen bergamot into a bright, resinous slash that feels almost electrically sharp. Cedar's dry pencil-shaving wood and patchouli's loamy hum arrive early, folding the citrus into a muted, earthy cambric that smells like crushed leaves on workshop timber. Tonka bean slowly warms the heart with soft almond coumarin while amber spreads a low, glossy resin that blunts patchouli's rough edges; musk stays close, lending clean skin rather than sensuality. After two hours the fragrance collapses to a skin-scent ribbon of sweet earth and blond wood, intimate but persistent, needing body heat to bloom. Office-safe sillage reaches handshake distance; best in cool spring or rainy fall days when wool and denim can carry its understated outdoors reference.
