By the editors · 2 min readLemon, bergamot and mandarin fuse into a single, sun-bleached citrus accord that flashes bright for twenty minutes before collapsing into cedar planks. The citrus oils feel stripped of sugar, leaving only their acidic husk to etch lines into the wood. Ambergris arrives early, not as marine salt but as a clean, grey musk that fills the cracks between cedar grains and quiets any remaining zest. From mid to dry-down the scent becomes skin-close cedar shavings dusted with cool mineral powder, no sweetness, no smoke, no embellishment. Projection stays within handshake range for three hours then settles to a whisper of dry wood and clean musk. Best worn in high heat when its terse dryness reads as refreshment rather than austerity.
