By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and violet leaf open sharp and green-bitter, the citrus pith snapping against a metallic vegetal coolness. The first minutes feel crisp and slightly aquatic without any literal water note.
Sage steers the heart toward a dry herbal register, nutmeg adding a warm dusty spice that cuts through the green opening, while cedar slips in early as a pencil-shaving dryness. The base settles on creamy sandalwood threaded with smoky vetiver — earthy, root-like, with the herbs still humming above. Texture stays dry throughout, projection is moderate at first then quickly intimate, the dry-down reading like clean skin with a wood grain.
The overall character is composed and grown-up, a daytime woody-aromatic with restrained spice.
