By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens bright and briefly metallic, a quick flash that drops within minutes to let sage and rosemary take over, their camphor-green edges sharpening the air. The herbs stay crisp, never turning creamy, while patchouli slides in early, adding a dry, chocolate-brown earth that mutes the aromatics and prepares the ground for incense. That incense arrives as a cool, mineral smoke, thin but persistent, overlaying the patchouli without hiding it so the base feels like sun-warmed rock and bitter leaves. Projection stays close, a skin-width aura that lasts the workday, tilting slightly sweeter as the citrus residue finally vanishes. Cool spring mornings and crisp fall afternoons fit its quiet, outdoors-on-rocks personality best.
