Bergamot takes the lead with a zesty, almost candied edge that the lemon sharpens while orange rounds the corners, creating a bright citrus top that flashes for ten minutes then folds directly into the heart.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot takes the lead with a zesty, almost candied edge that the lemon sharpens while orange rounds the corners, creating a bright citrus top that flashes for ten minutes then folds directly into the heart. Tarragon’s anise-green bite meets lavender’s clean camphor, and cardamom’s cool spice threads through both, turning the citrus brightness into an aromatic breeze rather than a sweet cologne. The base woods arrive early: sandalwood cream first, then cedar’s pencil-shaving dryness, both dusted with dry tobacco leaf and a clean white musk that keeps the finish matte instead of creamy. Projection drops to arm’s length within two hours, leaving a skin-brushing tobacco-wood haze perfect for casual summer evenings or an open-collar office day.
