Paco
Paco opens with a bracing burst of mint over bright citrus — orange, lemon, bergamot all at once, clean and sharp in the way mid-nineties masculines announced themselves.

By the editors · 2 min readPaco opens with a bracing burst of mint over bright citrus — orange, lemon, bergamot all at once, clean and sharp in the way mid-nineties masculines announced themselves. It settles faster than you'd expect: lavender takes the center ground with jasmine and a spike of nutmeg, the spice preventing the aromatic phase from going purely toiletry.
The base is the interesting part — tonka bean and oakmoss ground what could have been a disposable fresh into something with actual texture and wear. Cedar offers structure without woodiness per se; the whole composition reads as a proper fougère from an era when fougères still had character. Straightforward in its masculinity, dated in the best possible sense.
