Heritage Selection - Orange Zest
Despite the name, the opening is more bracing than zesty — ginger and lemon together, fizzy and sharp, more like a dry tonic than a citrus splash.

By the editors · 2 min readDespite the name, the opening is more bracing than zesty — ginger and lemon together, fizzy and sharp, more like a dry tonic than a citrus splash.
Sage and vetiver carry the heart, lending the composition a grey-green herbal posture: a touch of soap-and-shaving-cream, a touch of damp cellar floor. This is where the fragrance reveals its older-school chypre intentions. The base — moss, amber, musk — settles into a soft, slightly mineral skin scent, the moss keeping the warmth from turning syrupy.
Wears like a traditional men's cologne updated with a thinner waist. Best in cooler weather and daytime occasions where its restraint plays as quiet polish.
