By the editors · 2 min readA textbook fougère-aromatic opening: lavender and bergamot lift first, with lemon, eucalyptus, and thyme stacking herbal notes on top. The eucalyptus gives a faint mentholated coolness that the thyme grounds with its dry, slightly medicinal warmth.
The heart narrows considerably — jasmine softens the herbal edge, nutmeg adding a warmer roundness underneath. It's a brief floral-spicy bridge rather than a full development.
The base does the lifting work: sandalwood and cedar against oakmoss for a classic mossy floor, ambergris adding salty warmth, musk smoothing the close. Overall character is a traditional aromatic-fougère with a chypre-leaning drydown, projecting modestly and reading as a daytime, masculine-coded scent suited to warm-weather wear.
