By the editors · 2 min readLavender and lime open in a bright aromatic accord, with the lime cutting through the lavender's herbal sweetness to give it a slightly soda-pop snap. The pairing reads modern barbershop rather than traditional fougère.
Petitgrain, basil, and galbanum push the heart into greener, leafier territory while cardamom adds a cool spicy lift. The galbanum supplies a bitter, sap-green character that contrasts well with the rounder petitgrain. The middle stays unmistakably aromatic.
White musk, sandalwood, vetiver, amber, and patchouli build a warm but dry base, the vetiver lending a smoky-earthy thread that anchors the green opening. Overall character: a clean aromatic fougère with greener emphasis than usual, suited to office wear and spring-summer daytime occasions. Confident and easy, with moderate longevity.
