Aguas de Verao Cavalheiros

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a crisp rose accent that feels more barbershop than garden, the citrus oil sharpening the petals into something almost metallic. Cinnamon quickly folds into the heart, its heat meeting myrrh's resinous thickness while patchouli provides an earthy backbone that keeps the composition from turning overtly sweet. As the spices settle, vetiver's dry grass character emerges, its smoky edge amplified by vanilla's softening touch rather than hidden by it. Musk threads through the late stages, lending a skin-close warmth that recalls vintage masculine tropes without the heavy oakmoss anchor. Projection stays within conversational distance for six hours, making it office-viable yet present enough for evening plans. The structure reads autumn-first, though the bergamot top allows spring crossover when worn sparingly.
