By the editors · 2 min readOrange and basil create a bright, herbaceous opening with citrus freshness and green aromaticity. Rosemary amplifies the herbal character with its pine-like sharpness, while cardamom adds a warm, spicy nuance. Cedar provides a dry, woody base that grounds the composition without sweetness. The scent evolves from fresh-spicy to a dry herbal-woody dry-down, remaining relatively linear. Projection is moderate with average longevity of 4-5 hours, suited for daytime wear in spring and fall. It performs well in warm to cool conditions, ideal for casual or outdoor occasions.
