By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a bitter citrus spark that quickly gives way to an intense floral heart. Tuberose dominates with its creamy tropical character, supported by jasmine's indolic richness and heliotrope's almond-like powderiness. Leather and oakmoss emerge in the base, providing dry earthy textures that contrast with labdanum and benzoin's resinous warmth. Vanilla and tonka bean add sweetness while patchouli contributes earthy depth alongside cedar's dry woodiness. The scent evolves dramatically from citrus freshness to a complex floral-oriental dry-down over many hours. Projection is strong initially before settling to moderate sillage with exceptional longevity. Suitable for evening and formal occasions in cooler weather.
