By the editors · 2 min readMint and grapefruit open with a clean citrus-herbal sharpness, while lavender runs underneath from the first moment. Violet leaf adds a green, slightly sharp edge that keeps the opening from reading as simple fougère territory.
Black pepper, cardamom, and nutmeg move in through the heart, shifting the composition from fresh to warm-spicy. The lavender never fully leaves — it anchors the spices and prevents any single element from dominating too aggressively.
Vetiver and patchouli in the base bring earthiness and quiet depth, with sandalwood softening the transition. The overall result is an aromatic-spicy masculine that develops clearly across its stages without becoming heavy.
