By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with sharp citrus freshness that carries a slightly bitter edge. Petitgrain introduces green aromatic qualities with woody undertones that complement the citrus opening. Tonka bean provides sweet vanillic warmth while ambergris adds subtle animalic depth and vetiver contributes earthy dryness. The composition evolves from bright citrus-green to a warm sweet-earthy base over two hours. Projection remains moderate within arm's length before settling to skin level after three hours. Best worn in spring and summer during warm weather for casual or outdoor occasions. The vetiver-ambergris combination creates a subtle marine-earthy accord in the dry-down.
