By the editors · 2 min readOrange and bergamot launch bright and slightly candied, their citrus oils sheared clean of pith to create an effervescent top that feels more soda than zest. A surge of raspberry folds into the heart, its jammy red berry sugar sharpening the citrus edges while simultaneously tinting the woods below with a pink glow. Cedar arrives early, its dry pencil-shaving texture sucking moisture from the fruit so that the accord drifts toward a lightly toasted woodiness rather than lingering syrup. Clean white musk blankets the base, scrubbing any residual sweetness into a soft skin-haze that keeps projection polite. The wear stays close and linear after the first twenty minutes, projecting no farther than a handshake yet persisting as a faint cedar-raspberry skin tint for a full workday. Cool spring mornings and casual office settings suit its quiet radiance best.
