By the editors · 2 min readOrange and grapefruit provide a bright citrus opening that is fresh and slightly zesty, without excessive sweetness. Vetiver emerges early, introducing an earthy green character that grounds the citrus notes. Benzoin adds a balsamic warmth in the base, softening the vetiver's dryness with a subtle resinous sweetness. Cedar supports with a clean woody backbone that feels dry and aromatic. The scent evolves linearly from citrus freshness to an earthy-woody dry-down with mild warmth. Projection is moderate initially but becomes skin-close within three hours, lasting about four to seven hours. Suitable for casual daytime wear in spring or fall under warm conditions.
