By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open bright, their citric oils edged with lavender's cool herbal bite that arrives almost immediately. Black pepper sparks across the heart, sharpening the lavender while jasmine adds a brief white floral lift that keeps the composition from tilting too barbershop. Vetiver and patchouli take over within an hour, rooting the scent in dry grass and earthy bark, with musk softening the edges into a clean skin-warmth. The citrus never fully vanishes; instead it lingers as a faint sparkle inside the woody base, extending wear. Projection stays at arm's length for four hours before settling closer, making it office-safe yet present. Spring and cool summer mornings fit best, when the aromatic contrast can breathe.
