By the editors · 2 min readIl Homme opens crisp and citrus-forward, with bergamot and neroli laid against a green orange-leaf bite that keeps the brightness from going sweet. Within the first half hour the spice arrives — cinnamon and cardamom, warm but not loud — pulling the composition toward something more grown-up.
The drydown settles into a soft oriental: tonka and vanilla rounding the edges, sandalwood and amber giving it weight, white musk smoothing the seams. It's a familiar shape — citrus to spice to amber — executed competently rather than ambitiously, and built to wear on a weekday without announcing itself.
