By the editors · 2 min readThe opening strikes with a cold, mineral clarity—less tropical beach than windswept pier where salt air meets stone. It's an austere take on the marine genre, avoiding the usual melon-tinged sweetness in favor of something sharper and more linear.
Ylang-ylang arrives unexpectedly, not as lush tropical flower but compressed into a tight, almost metallic bloom. It adds a faint creaminess without softening the composition's angular edges. The floral heart feels deliberate, almost architectural—a controlled accent rather than indulgent centerpiece.
Sandalwood and musk in the base maintain the coolness rather than warming things up, creating a skin-close finish that reads as fresh laundry or recently showered skin. This suits someone looking for restraint over statement, a fragrance that signals cleanliness and discipline rather than seduction. Office-safe but never generic, it occupies the space between sport cologne and proper perfumery.
