By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and anise open together with a clean, slightly medicinal brightness — the anise keeps the citrus from reading as simple freshness, pulling it toward something more herbal and dry. Cardamom arrives in the heart and anchors this opening, adding warmth without much sweetness.
The dry-down settles into cedar and vanilla, a familiar masculine base that softens the spice without erasing it. The transition is smooth rather than dramatic. Cedar stays relatively dry, and vanilla stays restrained rather than dessert-like.
Overall, this reads as a tidy aromatic fougère with a fresh-spicy spine. It projects moderately and wears close to skin as it dries. Best suited to cooler days and everyday wear.
