By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit slices open with a tart, slightly bitter zest that immediately reads as crystalline and cool. Within minutes the heart layers ginger heat against lavender’s clean camphor edge, while rosemary adds a pine-needle sharpness that keeps the lavender from turning creamy; neroli hovers quietly, giving the blend a soap-like lift rather than floral sweetness. The base folds ambroxan’s mineral glow around a muted amber cushion, letting patchouli deliver a dry, cocoa-brown earthiness that reins in the early freshness. As the skin warms, ginger recedes and the accord softens to a woody-musky skin halo with a faint salt trace. Projection stays polite, extending an arm’s length for the first three hours before settling into a sheer, fresh-spicy aura. Office-safe year-round, it performs best in mild weather when its aromatic spine can breathe without being steamed by heat or buried under wool.
