By the editors · 2 min readA flick of lemon brightens the opening for a few minutes before fading into a green-woody heart. Sandalwood arrives creamy and warm, vetiver dry and grassy beneath it, patchouli adding earthy depth right alongside.
The heart settles quickly into a damp woody-mossy chord that reads classic 90s mens-counter — oakmoss in the base laying down a green carpet, amber adding a faint resinous warmth, cedar lending pencil-sharp structure on top. There isn't a lot of evolution past this point; the perfume locks into a comfortable woody-aromatic lane and stays there. Texture is matte and slightly dusty throughout.
Overall a dry, earthy, mossy patchouli-and-woods that wears close to skin. Spring-fall casual. Modest sillage but pleasant linger.
