By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper, lemon, and bergamot open cleanly — a citrus-spice combination with a slight sharpness from the pepper. It reads brisk and direct without much softness in the early phase.
Galbanum and nutmeg arrive in the heart, pushing the composition toward something greener and earthier. Atlas cedar adds structure while the galbanum keeps a fresh-cut, slightly bitter quality alive. Incense in the base introduces a dry smokiness that deepens everything without overwhelming the citrus legacy from the opening.
Sandalwood and white musk smooth the final stage into something woody and moderately warm. The overall character is cool, aromatic, and leaning masculine — suited to temperate weather.
