By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a bracing aquatic-pepper accord — mandarin orange clipped with black pepper over water notes. It reads cold and slightly metallic, and the pepper is dosed firmly enough to give the front end actual character.
The heart of Virginia cedar and water lily extends the watery-woody axis into something closer to a cool forest after rain. The cedar is dry rather than balsamic and the water lily reads as transparency, not floral sweetness.
The base brings warmth back: amber, sandalwood and patchouli, a familiar Mexx skeleton that the line uses across multiple men's releases. Workplace and casual wear, with enough projection in the first hour to register.
