Our take

The civetta in the heart is a difficult ingredient to carry. It brings a heavy, animalic weight that can feel dense and slightly aggressive against the lighter citrus opening. This density means the fragrance asks for careful application, as the intensity builds quickly once the initial spray settles.

Bergamot and Amalfi lemon provide a bright, crisp start that feels clean and energetic. Ylang-ylang adds a soft, yellow floral layer that bridges the gap between the sharp citrus and the deep base. Vetiver and basil ground the composition with an earthy, green freshness, while tonka bean lends a smooth, sweet vanilla touch. The scent stays near the body as it develops, creating a personal trail that persists through a warm afternoon outdoors among growing things. It suits a man who enjoys aromatic greens with a musky, woody finish. The lasting presence comes from the vetiver and tonka bean.
