By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open with a sharp, effervescent citrus burst that feels brisk and energizing on initial contact. This bright top layer quickly settles into a drier, earthier character as sandalwood and vetiver emerge from the base. Guaiac wood adds a subtle smoky resinous quality that intertwines with the crisp citrus remnants. Oakmoss provides a classic grounding element, lending a slightly damp, green-woody texture to the dry-down. The scent remains relatively linear after the first hour, maintaining a clean aromatic presence with moderate projection. It wears close to the skin with a longevity of four to six hours, ideal for casual daytime wear in spring or summer.
