By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit crack open with a chilled, almost frozen citrus snap that feels like crushed ice. Mint surges in immediately, pushing the citrus aside with a spear of cool green that basil sharpens and sage softens into a faintly peppery herbal cushion. The heart keeps the temperature low, but incense starts to smolder underneath, turning the fresh-aromatic accord into something slightly smoky and resinous while amber adds a thin layer of warmth. As skin heat rises, frankincense dominates the base, its lemon-peel facet echoing the opening while musk stretches the incense into a clean, grey haze that lingers close. Projection stays arm-length for about six hours, perfect for post-gym casual wear or a humid summer night.
