By the editors · 2 min readOrange and grapefruit open with a bright, tangy citrus burst that feels energizing and slightly bitter. The top notes fade quickly, revealing a base dominated by vetiver's earthy, grassy dryness and patchouli's dark, earthy depth. Benzoin adds a faint balsamic sweetness, while cedar provides a dry, woody backbone that enhances the earthy character. The scent evolves significantly, shifting from citrus freshness to a dry, earthy-woody dry-down with minimal sweetness. Projection is strong initially but settles to a moderate sillage that remains noticeable for hours. Longevity is good, lasting through most of the day. Ideal for fall and winter, this scent suits casual or outdoor occasions in cool weather.
