By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot open the composition with a bright, slightly bitter citrus-floral shimmer, classic eau de cologne in feel — clean, lifted, immediately recognisable.
The heart turns more aromatic. Petitgrain reinforces the bitter-orange thread, lavender adds a cool herbal softness, rosemary lifts it with camphorous bite, and clove plants a small warm-spicy accent. The composition stays transparent rather than dense.
Benzoin alone anchors the base, lending a faint balsamic-vanillic hush that softens the dry-down without weighing it down. Overall: a traditional cologne with herbal-spicy lean, fast and short-lived as the genre dictates, with intimate projection and a refreshing, season-versatile character suited to grooming and warm days.
