By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and lemon snap open with a cool, metallic citrus edge that the rosemary keeps taut and slightly medicinal. The heart introduces crystalline sea salt, not aquatic but mineral-dry, landing on skin like wind-blown rock; it strips the citrus of sweetness and leaves a briny hum that persists for hours. Sandalwood and cedar arrive quietly, their pale woods dusted with ambergris to create a soft, skin-borne musk that smells of sun-bleached driftwood rather than ocean spray. Projection stays within arm’s length, making it an unobtrusive daytime choice for warm weather or the office when you want clean without soap.
