By the editors · 2 min readBergamot snaps open with a bright, almost effervescent citrus edge that quickly folds into petitgrain’s leafy-green bitterness. The heart introduces black pepper’s dry, sparkling heat, which crackles against the still-present citrus and begins to tilt the scent toward an aromatic-woody register. Vetiver and cedar arrive early in the base, their cool, rooty and pencil-shave woods steadying the pepper while patchouli adds a muted earthy sweetness that softens the dryness. Clary sage weaves through the late mid-phase, lending a faintly tobacco-tinged herbal glow that keeps the woods from turning overly clean. The dry-down stays close to skin, a quiet weave of vetiver, cedar and patchouli that projects no more than arm’s length for about five hours, making it an easy daytime staple for mild spring or early-fall weather.
