By the editors · 2 min readBooster opens as its name implies: an energetic burst of peppermint and eucalyptus alongside orange and grapefruit, producing the cold-water freshness that defined sport fragrances of the mid-1990s. It is immediate, uncomplicated, and unambiguously masculine in the decade's understanding of that brief.
The heart introduces aromatic complexity: lavender and basil provide the herbal backbone, galbanum adds a cold, green, slightly bitter note that prevents the composition from becoming too approachable, and nutmeg contributes a dry spice. This is more interesting than the opening promises — galbanum in particular anchors the mid-section with a green astringency not common in this genre.
Sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar close things with a dry, clean base that wears close to skin and fades without complication. Booster is a time-capsule fragrance — perfectly representative of its era and genre, executed with more care than most of its contemporaries.
