By the editors · 2 min readYuzu and bergamot spark a high-pitched citrus flash that is almost gin-like, while mint slices a cool green ribbon straight through the centre, giving the opening a bracing seaside chill. Pink pepper keeps the brightness prickly, preventing the fruit from turning sugary. Oakmoss arrives early in the heart, stitching a salty, iodine-green seam between sun-warmed cedar planks and a milky fig pulp that feels more leaf than fruit. The fig’s lactonic water smooths the edges, letting the cedar read as driftwood rather than pencil shavings. Ambergris dominates the dry-down, pumping a mineral, skin-dried salt that sticks to skin like evaporated seawater, while a quiet patchouli earth note anchors the base without muddying it. Projection stays within conversational distance for five hours, making it an easy daytime option for hot coastal weather or humid city summers.
