A long, layered aromatic that opens cold and herbal — black pepper and peppermint sit on grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, with galbanum's resinous green giving the top a sharper edge than most British cologne updates manage.

The heart is unusually dense for the genre: lavender, rosemary, basil and thyme braid through jasmine, lily of the valley, iris and rose, with vetiver pulling the floral side toward green-woody. By the dry-down — moss, sandalwood, cedar, amber, patchouli and musk — it has settled into a polished aromatic chypre, more reserved than charismatic. It rewards close range; from a few feet away it reads simply as something well-made and traditional.
