By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a crisp citrus opening that quickly gives way to herbal and woody elements. Sage emerges with its aromatic green character while amber adds a warm resinous glow that softens the composition. Sandalwood contributes creamy wood notes that blend with drier guaiac wood and cedar in the base. The dry-down becomes increasingly woody with a clean, almost polished character that stays close to the skin. Longevity reaches five to six hours with minimal sillage beyond intimate proximity after the first hour. This scent suits professional settings in spring and fall where its refined woody-herbal character works well.
