By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit snap open with a bitter pith edge that bergamot softens into a cool, waxy shine. Petitgrain threads a leafy-green vein through the citrus, turning the brightness toward dry twigs rather than juice. Vetiver and patchouli arrive early, grounding the zest with damp earth and chopped roots so the scent never reads as edible. Musk shears off the rough edges, letting the woods hover close to skin while a quiet smoky facet smolders underneath. Projection stays polite, a citrus-woods skin halo ideal for office or humid morning runs; longevity lands at six hours before it folds into a a clean vetiver-musk whisper.
