By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit snap open with a dry, pithy brightness that quickly sheds sweetness. Black pepper and cardamom land in the heart, heating the citrus oils and steering the scent toward a crackling, woody-spice direction rather than a cola-like one. As the top fizz recedes, vetiver takes over, its rooty smoke lifted by cedar and cushioned by tonka bean’s soft almond facet, while patchouli and labdanum add an earthy, resinous thickness that keeps the base from turning creamy. Cashmeran threads a clean, musky wood through the dryness, extending wear without adding sugar. Projection stays polite for the first three hours, then settles to a skin-level vetiver haze that lasts a full workday. Cool spring and early-fall days, office or weekend brunch, when you want citrus brightness without dessert weight.
