By the editors · 2 min readBasil, orange, lemon, and bergamot create a zesty aromatic opening that is fresh, green, and slightly herbal, evoking a classic cologne structure. Petitgrain and lavender reinforce the aromatic heart, adding a bitter-green and clean floral accent that complements the citrus top without overpowering it. Jasmine provides a subtle floral sweetness in the mid-stage, while tonka bean introduces a mild coumarin-like warmth that hints at the coming base. Vetiver, patchouli, and moss form a dry, earthy, and slightly mossy foundation that is woody and resilient, offering a traditional masculine dry-down. The scent transitions from bright and citrusy to a more subdued aromatic-woody character, with good projection that remains moderate throughout wear. Longevity reaches six to eight hours, making it versatile for spring and summer daytime or work occasions.
