By the editors · 2 min readPeppermint, lemon, and bergamot open with a cool, clean freshness — the peppermint contributing a crisp mentholated edge that lifts the citrus notes into something brisk and slightly medicinal. The opening is bright and immediately awakening.
Vetiver carries the drydown, introducing an earthy, smoky rootiness that contrasts with the clean citrus opening. White musk softens the transition and keeps the overall effect from becoming too austere.
This is a clean, herb-forward masculine structure with good bones — the classic cologne territory of citrus over earth. The peppermint-vetiver axis is the most interesting pairing, giving the composition a crisp-to-earthy arc. Suited to warm weather and casual daytime wear.
