By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes first, a thin green citrus blade that shears away any sweetness. Galbanum enters immediately, sharpening the cut with raw, snapped-stem bitterness that makes the vetiver in the base feel twice as rooty and damp. That vetiver, joined by a dry sandalwood, pushes the composition into cool forest-floor territory: earth clings to the wood while the galbanum keeps everything rigidly upright. Over two hours the citrus retreats, letting the vetiver’s smoke and loam dominate, yet the sandalwood’s cream keeps the smoke from turning harsh. Projection stays close, a crisp skin-aura perfect for spring offices or humid summer mornings.
