Jasmine, violet, and rose form the floral heart — unusual for a male-targeted fragrance, but the preceding green-aromatic register frames these florals as background structure rather than foregrounded sentiment.
Sandalwood, cedar, and musk close cleanly and without drama. The dry-down is smooth and warm, with a woody-musky character. This follows classic male fragrance structure well — aromatic opening, understated floral heart, clean woody close.
