By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit snaps open with bitter pith and aldehydic sparkle, cardamom’s cool-green bite riding its crest to keep the citrus from turning sugary. The two top notes fuse into a fresh-spicy ribbon that hovers just above the skin, never quite surrendering the spotlight as the woods arrive. Cedar arrives first, dry and pencil-sharp, then guaiac wood layers a faint birch-tar smokiness underneath, stretching the citrus-cardamom accord into a woody skin-scent that smells like chilled gin spilled on sawdust. Projection stays polite for about five hours before collapsing to a cedar-birch hum that still carries a ghost of grapefruit zest. Bright enough for summer office days yet smoky enough for after-work drinks, it feels like a streamlined update of the classic masculine woody citrus.
