By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is immediate and clarifying: bright grapefruit cut with the warm, resinous edge of cardamom. It's less citrus splash than spiced clarity, the kind of contrast that holds your attention without demanding it. Within minutes, a whisper of jasmine arrives—never floral in the ornamental sense, but present enough to soften the vetiver's earthier intentions as it begins to assert itself below.
What emerges is a vetiver study with manners. The base is rooty and green but never austere, tempered by clean musk that keeps the composition from turning too agrarian or severe. The overall effect feels considered and composed, suitable for someone who wants vetiver's character without its occasional harshness. It wears close, linear after the first hour, and doesn't announce itself across a room—more of a personal radius fragrance than a statement.
