By the editors · 2 min readPlum and apricot open with a juicy, tart fruitiness that is immediately nuanced by anise's sweet-herbal lift. Yuzu adds a bright citrus edge that cuts through the fruit, while oakmoss and incense introduce an earthy, smoky depth with a dry, mossy texture. Cedar provides a dry woody backbone that supports the composition without overwhelming the fruity and aromatic elements. The scent evolves from a fruity-top to a complex, earthy-woody heart that feels intriguing and slightly mysterious. Projection is moderate but remains close to the skin, offering good longevity for daytime wear. Best in fall and spring, it suits casual and outdoor occasions in cool to warm weather.
