By the editors · 2 min readTarragon opens with a bittersweet, anise-tinged green snap that is immediately brightened by juicy orange zest, creating a cool, slightly medicinal aromatic top. The heart brings in dry cedar planks that mute the citrus and fold the herb into clean wood, giving the scent a pencil-shaving crispness rather than forest depth. As skin warms, the cedar reappears in the base alongside creamier sandalwood and a light white musk; the musk lifts the woods, stopping them from turning creamy or resinous and keeping the overall feel airy and freshly laundered. Projection stays close, forming a soft woody-aromatic halo for about five hours. It reads like a streamlined everyday cologne for warm spring afternoons or post-gym refreshment, never sweet or heavy.
