By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open with a sharp, juicy burst that carries a slight bitter rind edge. Lavender and rosemary introduce a dry aromatic quality that tempers the citrus brightness with herbal austerity. Jasmine provides a subtle floral sweetness while star anise adds a whisper of licorice-like spice. Vetiver grounds the composition with its earthy, slightly smoky character over a clean musk base. The scent evolves from a bright citrus-aromatic opening to a more subdued green-woody dry-down. Projection starts moderately but settles close to the skin within a few hours, lasting through a workday. Best for warm weather casual or office wear where its fresh character remains uplifting without overwhelming.
