By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a noisy citrus basket — bergamot, lemon, orange, grapefruit — sharpened by basil's green herbal bite and the inky tartness of black currant. It reads bracingly fresh in the first minutes, almost cologne-like in its citric snap.
The heart shifts unexpectedly: powdery iris fans out, raspberry and peach add a soft fruity hum, and lily of the valley keeps things dewy while a clove pinprick warms the bouquet. As it dries, oakmoss and patchouli build a damp, earthy floor with sandalwood, amber, and cedar adding plush depth. Tonka rounds the edges.
Overall character: a contemporary chypre-leaning structure — fresh-fruity up top, mossy-woody underneath, with steady moderate projection.
