By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens brisk and slightly bittersweet, a quick flash that gets swallowed almost immediately by guaiac wood’s roasted, pencil-shaving smoke. Virginia cedar rides alongside, adding dry, splintered texture that keeps the heart stripped of any sweetness. Vetiver pushes that dryness further, its rooty green facet sharpening the cedar while amber tries, with limited success, to lay a soft golden cushion underneath. The result is a linear, bone-dry woody skin-scent: the citrus vanishes in minutes, the woods stay cool and matte, and the amber never achieves full warmth. Projection stays close, extending only to handshake distance for the first two hours before collapsing to the body’s heat zone. Office-safe, spring through early fall, but you’ll need to over-spray to keep it alive past lunch.
