By the editors · 2 min readTarragon and rosemary spearhead the opening, releasing a bracing, almost anisic green bite sharpened by lime and lemon. The herbs stay crisp while cardamom slips in, adding a cool, peppery lift that keeps the marine accord from turning soapy. Sage dominates the heart, its fuzzy-leaf texture amplifying the mossy undercurrent already suggested by the citrus rind. Vetiver and cedar arrive early, stripping away sweetness and framing the composition in dry, clean woods. Patchouli surfaces only in the far dry-down, lending a quiet earthiness that anchors the lingering salt-spray nuance. Projection stays polite, creating a discreet herbal-marine aura perfect for office or weekend wear in warm weather.
