By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes bright and citric for minutes before vetiver grabs the stem, its dry grass and mineral smoke pushing the citrus aside. Heart phase keeps that vetiver center stage, sandalwood slipping in to polish the edges with creamy wood that mutes vetiver’s crackle. Cedar arrives late, adding pencil-sharp lift that stops the base from turning heavy, so the scent stays airborne and sunlit. On skin it moves from brisk green sparkle to quiet woodsmoke haze within three hours, projection dropping to arm-length but never skin-tight. Warm days and office dress codes suit its transparent take on vetiver best.
