By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit open with a clean, slightly tart citrus that carries more freshness than sweetness. Grapefruit in particular adds a faint bitter edge that prevents the opening from feeling generic.
Pink pepper and ginger introduce gentle, dry spice through the heart, while orange blossom and mimosa bring a soft, yellow-floral quality — sunny rather than heady. Clary sage provides an herbal counterpoint that keeps the floral notes grounded. Oakmoss and vetiver arrive in the base, shifting the fragrance toward green and earthy terrain, with the oakmoss adding genuine chypre depth.
The overall structure is a citrus-green chypre with good transparency — bright on arrival, dryly aromatic at the finish, and comfortable across warmer seasons.
