Gentleman

Gentleman opens with a bright mix of Sicilian lemon, lime, and mandarin orange that feels clean and immediate. Lavender and thuja sit beside them, giving the citrus a slightly resinous edge that keeps the start from reading as simple summer refreshment. The opening feels lively without becoming sharp, and the citrus holds its place for a reasonable span before the heart begins to show.

Petitgrain and geranium take over with a green, slightly floral character, while basil and galbanum push the scent toward a leafy, herbal direction. Cardamom adds a mild lift that keeps the middle from settling into something flat. The herbs and greens feel steady here, and they carry through long enough to let the base arrive without a sudden drop in presence.

Vetiver and patchouli bring an earthy, woody depth that grounds the brighter top and heart. Sandalwood smooths the edges, and amber adds a warm, slightly resinous glow that sits close against the skin. White musk finishes the structure with a soft, powdery touch that stays near the body and does not push outward as the hours pass.

Composed by Roland Theil and launched in 2021, this aromatic fougere suits daily wear in spring or autumn. It works well for someone who wants a citrus-herbal fragrance with a woody, amber base that remains near the wearer through a normal day.
