By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and orange create a bright, slightly bitter citrus opening that feels fresh and invigorating upon application. Lavender adds a clean, aromatic floral quality that merges with the citrus to create a classic barbershop-inspired freshness. Seaweed introduces a distinct marine accord that provides a salty, oceanic character which is unusual and quite prominent in the heart. Amber lends a soft, warm resinous base that contrasts with the cool aquatic tones, while patchouli and clary sage add earthy and herbal grounding. The composition shifts from a citrus-aromatic top to a marine-salty heart before settling into a warm, slightly earthy dry-down. It projects moderately and is best suited for warm weather casual wear, lasting around four to six hours on skin.
