FORMULA #28
Fragrance notes
Character
FORMULA #28 is a daytime companion for the man who prefers clarity over comfort. The opening is bright and brisk, with bergamot and mandarin orange lending a clean citrus lift that feels like sunlight on stone. Geranium adds a green, slightly peppery edge, while frankincense introduces a dry, resinous thread that keeps the fruit from becoming casual. This is not a fragrance that wraps you in warmth. It stands upright and composed, offering a crisp first impression that feels intentional rather than decorative.
Lavender enters and softens the spine of the composition without losing its structure. Amber in the heart and base provides a golden, resinous weight that grounds the herbs and citrus, but it never turns heavy or sweet. Patchouli and moss bring an earthy, woody depth that feels natural and slightly rugged, while musk smooths the edges into a steady, aromatic finish. The overall character is fresh spicy and aromatic, leaning on clarity and texture instead of richness. It suits someone who wants a scent that feels put together and present in the world.
The image it leaves is of a well-kept garden path after rain, where citrus still clings to the leaves and resinous wood rises from the damp earth.
