The heart adds dimension: tarragon contributes a liquorice-bitter herb edge, pink pepper brings a faint dryness, and jasmine threads a soft white-floral middle through what would otherwise be a strict barbershop opening. The structure is recognisably aromatic-fougère but treated with a denser hand than expected.
The base is incense-laced amber over oakmoss and patchouli with musk smoothing the joins, the resin lending a slightly smoky, ceremonial drift. Overall it reads as a richer, more incense-shaded take on classical eau de cologne — fresh-herbal up top, gently smoky-mossy underneath.
