By the editors · 2 min readBitter orange and grapefruit peel crack open with a sharp, metallic zest that quickly dries into a mineral dustiness. Black pepper coruscates across this citric dryness, heating the heart while keeping the texture rugged and matte. Vetiver surges up from the base, its raw, sun-baked grassiness merging with cedar shavings to form a flinty, iron-rich accord that smells like hot gravel after rain. Benzoin adds only a whisper of resinous sweetness, enough to soften the edges without turning the scent round; patchouli contributes a muted earthy hum that anchors the grapefruit bitterness for hours. Projection radiates a calm, two-foot sillage trail that feels office-appropriate yet unmistakably outdoorsy, thriving in cool spring mornings or autumn commutes when the air sharpens the contrasts between citrus snap and mineral dust.
