By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus edge that bergamot softens into a clean, soapy sparkle. Violet leaf slips in early, adding a cool, crushed-green facet that mutes the citrus sugars and steers the scent toward a watery, metallic heart. Cardamom warms that green chill, lending a quiet, fresh-spice buzz that keeps the composition airy rather than sweet. As the top fizz recedes, tonka bean folds the remaining greens into a sheer, almond-like powder while amber spreads a low, skin-warm glow. Cedar trims the base with dry pencil-shaving wood, stopping the accord from turning creamy and preserving a transparent, rainfall-on-concrete crispness that lingers close to the body. Projection stays within arm’s length for about five hours, making it an easy daytime staple for warm spring or muggy summer offices.
