By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain, bergamot, and clary sage open dry and aromatic — a green-citrus brightness with the slightly herbal sage giving it lift rather than soap. The vetiver settles in early and stays the whole wear: damp, rooty, faintly smoked, with cedar adding a sharper pencil-shaving edge alongside.
Underneath, tobacco and amber add warmth without sweetness, and the musk is more skin than powder. This is vetiver played straight — no leather glove around it, no gourmand padding — the way the material smells when you let it breathe. It reads quiet, slightly serious, an autumn-into-winter wear that sits close after the first hour and stays put.
