By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit peel open with a brisk, sunlit snap that feels like chilled citrus rind against skin. Violet leaf adds a cool, green-metallic nuance that bridges the citric brightness into the aromatic heart. Sage and lavender arrive together, the first lending a camphorous lift, the second a clean, softly camphoraceous floral that keeps the accord airy rather than sweet. In the dry-down, tonka bean folds in a faint almond-coumarin cream while ambergris and labdanum create a salty, skin-warm glow that clings close. Cedar shavings drift underneath, sharpening the base without turning powdery. Projection stays polite, a citrus-aromatic mist that lingers for about five hours and feels most at home on warm spring weekends or vacation evenings.
