By the editors · 2 min readLemon lands cool and brisk, then folds almost immediately into moss that feels damp, shaded, and faintly bitter. The heart triangulates that green mineral tone with a dry, resinous amber and a muted violet that adds a dusty, suede-like layer rather than overt floral sweetness. Cedar in the base keeps the structure vertical, shaving off the amber’s heft and leaving a clean, pencil-shaving edge that lingers well past the first hour. What starts as a bright citrus quickly becomes a cool, moss-forward wood accord, projecting at arm’s length for roughly five hours before settling into a soft cedar skin scent. The composition reads like a brisk forest floor after rain: cool, earthy, quietly resinous. Wear it in spring or fall for office-casual days when you want crisp green woods without aromatic herbs.
