By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot create a dry, slightly bitter citrus opening that feels more leafy than juicy, immediately softened by a quiet pink pepper warmth. The heart is dominated by cedar, but this isn't the familiar pencil-shaving variety; instead it reads as a cool, resinous wood that bridges the green top and the darker base. Oakmoss and patchouli arrive together, lending a cool forest-floor dampness that keeps the leather from turning smoky or animalic. That leather stays close to the skin, smelling like a well-worn suede jacket rather than a tack-shop hide. Over hours the composition relaxes into a muted moss-laced leather accord that projects politely for the first three hours before settling into a skin-sent whisper. Cool autumn days and smart-casual offices fit its restrained, outdoors-leaning character best.
