By the editors · 2 min readMint and grapefruit arrive with a cool, sharp freshness — the mint in particular cuts through clearly without turning medicinal. Together they establish an outdoor, energetic character in the first few minutes.
Sage and lavender fill the heart with herbal depth. The clary sage adds a slightly smoky, nutty edge to the lavender's familiar clean sweetness, keeping the composition from reading as simple fougère. This middle phase has the most character.
Tonka bean and musk in the base soften the herbal edges into something warmer and more enveloping. The finish is smooth, slightly sweet, and musky — grounded but not heavy. A solid fresh-aromatic masculine suited to daytime and active wear.
