By the editors · 2 min readBusiness Over Pleasure opens with a bright bergamot that feels clean and purposeful rather than tart. Ginger adds a dry lift alongside the soft, green coolness of lily of the valley, keeping the heart from tipping into full floral territory.
As the composition settles, tonka bean and guaiac wood arrive with a warm, slightly smoky dryness. Amber and patchouli deepen the base without overwhelming, while musk keeps everything grounded at skin level.
The overall effect is a structured fougère-adjacent scent — restrained and professional without being cold. The balance between the spiced freshness and the woody base makes it suitable for office environments or composed evening outings.
