By the editors · 2 min readTarragon over bergamot gives a green, slightly anisic opening, more herbal than citrusy. The aromatic edge persists into the heart, where vetiver and patchouli anchor jasmine and cedar in something distinctly forested.
A coconut note emerges through the drydown, lending unexpected creaminess against oakmoss and leather. The pairing is unusual: a chypre architecture softened by a tropical lactonic streak rather than the typical floral one. Amber and musk smooth the finish.
The overall impression is a mossy aromatic leather with green herbal complications, characteristic of late-seventies men's structures. Best in cooler conditions where the dry herbs and oakmoss read clearly. Wear lingers comfortably without dominating a room.
