By the editors · 2 min readLime opens sharp and effervescent against a plank of dry cedar, the citrus rind oils fizzing on contact with the resinous wood. Within minutes the lime softens, letting vetiver’s cool, rooty smoke rise while patchouli folds in its loamy, chocolate-brown leaf matter, creating a dusty green-wood accord. Tonka bean arrives late, dusting the woods with a faint almond-sweet powder that blunts the vetiver’s edge and warms the sandalwood into a skin-close cream. Projection stays arm-length for three hours, then collapses to a whisper of sweet hay and pale wood. It reads like a summer-camp cologne left to dry on sun-baked boards, best for hot days outdoors or a casual beach wedding.
