By the editors · 2 min readFennel and grapefruit create an aromatic and citrusy opening that feels fresh and slightly herbal with a crisp edge. Violet leaf and sage introduce a green, earthy quality that contrasts with the bright top notes, adding depth and texture. Pink pepper contributes a subtle spicy warmth that enhances the aromatic heart without dominating the composition. Moss in the base provides a dry, earthy foundation that grounds the scent and adds a classic chypre-like character. The fragrance evolves from fresh and aromatic to green and earthy, with a linear dry-down that emphasizes the mossy base. Projection is moderate initially but settles to an intimate skin scent within two hours. Longevity is around four to five hours. Best for casual daytime wear in spring or fall.
