By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a sharp, effervescent citrus burst that quickly settles into a clean, slightly bitter freshness. Cedar and nutmeg emerge shortly after, lending a dry, aromatic woodiness underscored by a subtle warm-spicy hum. The dry-down introduces oakmoss, which provides an earthy, slightly damp green character, while olibanum adds a faint resinous sweetness and smoky depth. This composition remains relatively linear after the initial bright top notes fade, maintaining a consistent aromatic woody profile. Projection is moderate at first, receding to a soft skin scent within a few hours, with longevity lasting through a workday. Best suited for casual wear in spring and fall, it performs well in cool to warm weather.
