By the editors · 2 min readBasil and grapefruit create an immediate aromatic-citrus snap that feels like crushed green leaves streaked with bitter zest. Sage enters within minutes, folding a dry, camphoraceous layer over the grapefruit's pith, while vetiver threads a cool, grassy rootiness through the heart, keeping the scent taut and vertical. As the opening brightness subsides, sandalwood steps forward, its creamy wood warmed by labdanum's resinous amber and the soft vanillic pull of benzoin, creating a smooth, slightly sweet skin presence. Patchouli lingers underneath, adding a quiet earthy depth that prevents the base from turning syrupy. Projection stays within conversational distance for about five hours before collapsing to a woody-balsamic skin veil. The composition reads as a crisp, daytime fougère variant that favors spring office through early fall, office-safe yet still carrying a discreet racing stripe of spice.
