By the editors · 2 min readLime opens sharp and effervescent, slicing through the darker materials that follow. Clary sage arrives quickly, its bittersweet herbal-green facet softening the citric snap while adding a cool, almost minty lift that keeps the composition airy. Patchouli dominates the dry-down, earthy and slightly camphoraceous, yet the earlier brightness lingers as a ghost on skin, preventing the base from turning heavy. Guaiac wood reinforces the patchouli’s dryness with a wispy smoked-wood accent, while cardamom dusts the transition with a cool, green-spice sparkle that stitches top to base. Fig adds a muted, milky green sweetness that rounds edges without declaring fruit. Projection stays polite—an arm’s-length aura for half a day—then settles into a clean, woody skin scent. Spring through early fall office wear is its natural habitat.
