By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a bright citrus burst that quickly settles into an aromatic herbal blend. Sage and lavender provide a clean, slightly medicinal quality while cardamom adds warm spice nuances. Jasmine emerges subtly beneath this herbal structure, lending a soft floral undertone without overwhelming dominance. The dry-down reveals a complex base where white musk and tonka bean create a sweet skin-like quality over leather and benzoin. Amber and iris add powdery resinous depth while Virginia cedar provides dry woody support. This composition evolves from bright citrus to aromatic herbal to a soft leathery-musk dry-down over several hours. Moderate projection maintains presence within personal space before settling close to skin. Best for cooler weather and evening occasions where its complexity can unfold fully.
