By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf, lemon, and grapefruit open with a green-citrus burst that is bright and slightly bitter. Rosemary and anise add an herbal sharpness almost immediately, while lavender begins pulling the composition toward a more structured aromatic register.
Patchouli and sandalwood in the heart add earthy depth, and oakmoss and amber in the base bring a classic fougère character — slightly powdery, slightly mossy, with tonka rounding out the dry-down into a soft, warm finish.
The overall impression is of a composed masculine aromatic with clear vintage lineage: fresh top gives way to herbal heart and a mossy amber base. Layered enough to avoid feeling flat, it works across a wide range of cooler settings.
