De Viris
Orange opens bright yet quickly tilts dry as black pepper crackles across the top, setting up a heart where ylang-ylang’s creamy banana facet is scorched by roasted coffee and earthy patchouli, while clary sage adds a bittersweet green accent that keeps the flowers from turning sugary.

By the editors · 2 min readOrange opens bright yet quickly tilts dry as black pepper crackles across the top, setting up a heart where ylang-ylang’s creamy banana facet is scorched by roasted coffee and earthy patchouli, while clary sage adds a bittersweet green accent that keeps the flowers from turning sugary. The coffee note lingers into the base, staining sandalwood and cedar with a bitter roasted edge that reads almost tobacco-like, and clean musk finally lifts the bitterness so the skin smells of peppery wood rather than espresso. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it an autumn office scent that quietly separates from the usual citrus or lavender crowd.
