By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and rosemary open with the brisk clarity of a tennis court at dawn—citrus zest tempered by green, aromatic herbs. Cardamom adds a faint soapy warmth that keeps the opening from feeling too sporty or utilitarian. It's clean without crossing into laundry-detergent territory.
The tuberose arrives unexpectedly, not creamy or indolic but pale and almost waxy, shadowed by ylang-ylang's soft spice. This floral layer gives the fragrance an odd elegance, pulling it away from typical athletic masculines. The contrast between the bright opening and this quieter heart creates a kind of restrained tension.
Suede and cedar settle into a polished, neutral drydown—skin-close and slightly powdery, with vetiver lending a dry, earthy backbone. The leather remains subtle, more suggestion than statement. It's for someone who wants freshness with a muted refinement, a white polo shirt under a linen blazer.
