Gentleman
A modern citrus-aromatic woody that opens crisp — grapefruit and bergamot lifted by cardamom, the spice giving the citrus a slight green-resinous edge before it can read as plain fresh.

The heart is unusually narrow: rosemary alone, which keeps the structure aromatic rather than pivoting toward florals or fruit. That choice anchors the composition in the barber-shop and cologne tradition without quoting it directly.
The base does the warming — vetiver brings smoky earth, labdanum and amber lend a sweet-resinous depth, the trio reading as a contemporary take on the masculine woody-amber playbook. Wears clean enough for the office and warm enough to carry into a cooler evening; the overall character is restrained and well-mannered.
