By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit open sharp and zesty, more cologne-bracing than juicy, the grapefruit's bitter edge keeping the lemon from going sherbet. Brief but vivid.
Ginger and pink pepper transition the citrus into a warmer, mildly tingly middle, the ginger fresh-edged rather than candied. The shift is short — there's not much heart material — and the citrus residue carries through.
Amber and musk close out soft and skin-warm, less defined than the opening promised, more a faint warm cocoon than a statement base. The overall character is a fresh-spicy citrus that fades into ambery skin musk. Close-wearing, brief on most skin, easy for warm weather and daytime casual or office contexts where unobtrusive freshness is the point.
