By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot open with a bitter-green sparkle that black pepper cuts into an aromatic-citrus snap. The heart folds lavender and sage into the lingering pepper, cardamom warming the blend so the herbs read cool rather than chilly. Oakmoss rises first in the dry-down, earthy and slightly camphorous, while vetiver adds dry grass smoke and a muted leather accord keeps the base tactile rather than creamy. During the first two hours the scent stays bright and slightly spicy, then settles into a muted green-woods skin shadow that lasts close to the body. Projection is polite, reaching arm’s length for about four hours before collapsing to a mossy-herbal whisper ideal for office or spring-through-early-fall weekends.
