By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit slices through the opening with sharp pith while a snapped-stem grass accord adds a dewy green bite; together they read like morning garden shears. Vetiver surges up within minutes, its smoke-dry root tempering the citrus sugars, then pipe-tobacco leaf folds in, warm and slightly honeyed, turning the heart into a sun-lit barn accord. Oakmoss spreads a cool forest-floor cushion that keeps patchouli’s chocolate earth in check; clean white musk lifts the finish so the wear stays brisk rather than heavy. Projection radiates a polite arm’s-length halo for six hours, making it office-safe yet noticeably aromatic. Spring and early-fall days, smart-casual settings, cool-warm weather.
