By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf, grapefruit and bergamot open dry and slightly metallic, with violet leaf supplying a sap-green bite alongside the citrus. The opening is crisp rather than juicy.
Sea salt and clary sage form an unusual heart, the salt giving an airy mineral quality and the sage adding a thin herbal-tea bitterness. The combination reads coastal — bare skin, breeze, a thin haze of vegetation along a shoreline.
Ambergris, cedar and musk close the base with a warm, slightly salty woody finish, the ambergris extending the marine impression into something animal and skin-warm without going truly aquatic. The overall character is a salty mineral-woody composition with green edges, restrained and unisex, suited to warm-weather daytime wear.
