By the editors · 2 min readPineapple and grapefruit open with a bright, tropical sweetness that is immediately grounded by the sharp, licorice-like character of star anise. Aromatic sage and rosemary quickly surface, introducing a dry, herbal greenness that contrasts with the fruity top notes. The heart accord becomes a complex interplay between crisp violet leaf and warm, woody guaiac wood as the fragrance develops. Vanilla and ambroxan in the base provide a creamy, musky foundation that smooths out the composition's sharper edges. Projection is strong initially, filling an arm's length radius before receding to a moderate, woody-sweet trail. This versatile scent works well for casual daytime wear in warm weather, offering good longevity through its musky dry-down.
