By the editors · 2 min readLavender and basil open with a crisp aromatic greenness, immediately establishing a classic barbershop character. Lemon and bergamot add a bright citrus lift that cuts through the herbal intensity with clean freshness. Ylang-ylang introduces a creamy floral heart that softens the composition's sharper edges as it settles. Tonka bean and vanilla blend with sandalwood to create a warm sweet-woody base accented by earthy patchouli and vetiver. Oakmoss and benzoin contribute a mossy balsamic depth that grounds the fragrance with traditional fougère structure. Projection remains moderate for several hours before retreating to a skin-close trail ideal for casual or formal daytime wear in spring and fall.
