By the editors · 2 min readApple, lemon, and grapefruit open with a clean, slightly tart fruit-citrus burst — grapefruit's bitter edge keeping the apple from reading sugary. This is a daytime opening through and through.
Cardamom takes the heart alone — a quiet, cool spice that lifts rather than warms, lending a green-mineral lift through the otherwise crisp middle. The single-note heart is unusually sparse and lets the opening flavours linger.
Sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar close into a clean, dry-woods drydown. There's no amber or musk sweetening the close; the base reads cool and almost arid. Overall this is a fresh fruity-citrus with a woody finish — masculine-coded, warm-weather daywear, simple in shape. Linear development with a modernist pared-back design.
