By the editors · 2 min readLime and lemon open with sharp, dry citrus brightness — the opening is brief and clean, with no sweetness softening the edges. The early minutes feel more like a barbershop fougere than a perfume per se.
Rosemary takes over the heart, lending a green, slightly camphoraceous aromatic quality. The transition is direct, with no floral or fruity bridge.
The base settles into oakmoss and amber, the moss giving an earthy bitterness against amber's resinous warmth. The overall structure is fougere-adjacent: citrus, herb, moss. The composition is simple and legible, suited to warmer-weather daytime wear. Longevity is moderate, and projection stays close to skin after the first hour.
