By the editors · 2 min readTarragon, orange, and grapefruit open pungent and bracing — anise-laced herb against bitter citrus, with Virginia cedar adding immediate dry wood. The opening reads green-aromatic with an unusual savory tilt.
The heart is a single neroli note, soft and slightly soapy, that briefly bridges the herbal top and the woody base without taking the spotlight. The composition stays sparse rather than blooming.
The base is austere: oakmoss provides a dry green-mineral cushion, amber a thin warm thread, musk holds it close to skin. There's no real sweetness or resinous depth. Overall character is a green-aromatic chypre with a tarragon-grapefruit twist — bracing, masculine, suited to cool weather and outdoor wear.
