By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is icy and clean: lemon and bergamot lifted high, with a sharpness that recalls cut glass more than fruit. There is no cushion in the top — it reads as deliberately bracing.
Rosewood threads through the heart with a faintly woody-spicy lift that keeps the citrus from collapsing into pure cologne.
Oakmoss and vetiver in the base do most of the work: green, slightly bitter, faintly mineral, anchoring the citrus into a chypre frame rather than letting it dissipate. The result is austere and faintly androgynous — a composition that prizes lightness and bite over warmth, and hews closer to the linen-and-leaf register than to anything sweet.
