Angelica gives the heart its character — green, slightly bitter, with a herbal lift that keeps the composition from feeling perfumey. Vetiver in the base adds an earthen damp, the smell of soaked roots rather than smoke.
It is brief and cold and very light. Wears closer than most colognes after the first half hour. Best on warm days when you want the smell of the air after a thunderstorm rather than a scent that announces itself.
