By the editors · 2 min readTarragon leads with a cool, slightly bitter green bite that the bergamot lifts into a sparkling, almost effervescent top herbal accord. The heart is skipped, so the aromatic top collapses directly onto vetiver and oakmoss; the vetiver adds dry, smoky grass while the oakmoss supplies a briny, salt-sprayed woods facet that reads like wet stones. Ambergris quietly fattens the base, turning the mineral moss into a soft, skin-warming musk that still feels oceanic rather than sweet. Over two hours the herbs fade, leaving a clean, tide-pool vetiver that stays close to the body. Projection stays arm-length for about four hours, making it an easy summer work scent for days when you want to smell like brisk coastal air rather than cologne.
