By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot create a brisk, slightly bitter citrus opening that ginger punctuates with a clean, peppery snap. The heart folds in rosemary and clary sage, their camphoraceous green bite stretching the aromatic freshness while a faint salty ambergris accord adds maritime depth. As the herbs mute, ambergris re-emerges, now joined by labdanum; together they form a translucent, resin-warmed amber that clings close to skin rather than billows. The overall arc stays bright, spicy-herbal and quietly musky, never sweet. Projection remains arm-length for about five hours, then settles into a soft skin-whisper perfect for office or weekend daytime wear in spring through early fall.
