By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot snap open with a taut, waxen brightness that quickly folds into the heart's Mediterranean quartet. Lavender dominates, its camphorous edge sharpened by thyme and rosemary while clary sage adds a muted tobacco-like leafiness that keeps the bouquet rugged rather than floral. The herbs stay crisp for hours, drying further as cedar emerges, clean and pencil-shaven, alongside patchouli that reads more as earthy dust than sweet chocolate. On skin the citrus flash is brief; what lingers is an aromatic, slightly bitter green-wood accord that feels like crushed leaves on dry bark. Projection stays within arm's length for most of its wear, making it an easy daytime companion for spring through early fall when you want brisk cleanliness without aquatic clichés.
