By the editors · 2 min readLavender, lemon, and bergamot open with a classic aromatic citrus freshness that feels clean and invigorating. Cedar and patchouli form a dry, woody heart that adds an earthy depth to the bright top notes. Tonka bean and vanilla introduce a sweet, coumarinic warmth that blends with the resinous quality of amber. Moss contributes a damp, green earthiness that grounds the composition and adds a vintage barbershop character. Musk ensures the dry-down remains soft and skin-close, with a longevity of seven to nine hours. Projection is moderate initially but becomes more intimate over time, suitable for formal or work settings in cool weather. It evokes a traditional, polished aroma that feels timeless and reliable.
