By the editors · 2 min readApple and lime slice open with a tart-green snap, basil adding a faintly bitter leafy edge that keeps the fruit from turning sugary. A brisk lavender heart steps in within minutes, its cool, slightly camphoraceous stalk cleaning the citrus residue and steering the scent toward a barbershop lane. As skin heat rises, tonka bean folds in soft almond-sweet vanillic warmth while guaiac wood supplies dry, pencil-shaving smoke that clings to the lavender like a grey tweed sleeve. Oakmoss and amber finish the base with a muted earthy cushion, muting projection but extending a clean, masculine hum that stays near the collar through an office day. The overall arc is crisp-herbal turning creamy-woody, polite enough for work yet carrying enough smoke for an evening bar.
