Fragrance notes
Character
The first spray is a sharp green bite. Lemongrass and mint hit immediately, bright and cooling, while bergamot adds a clean citrus lift. Neroli sits underneath with a faint orange blossom sweetness that keeps the opening from feeling like a kitchen herb garden. It is fresh, but the freshness has an edge.
As the top fades, the heart opens into something more complex. Hibiscus and jasmine bring a soft floral layer, but anise and cardamom push it toward spice. Cacao pod adds a dry, dusty bitterness that stops the flowers from dominating. Japanese osmanthus rounds it out with a gentle fruitiness that never becomes sweet.
In cooler air, the base pulls everything together. Sandalwood gives a smooth, creamy wood that feels warm against the skin, while amber adds a golden, resinous glow. White musk keeps it close and personal rather than loud. The overall impression is a spicy floral wood that works best when the weather has a chill.
You reach for this when the morning is crisp enough to see your breath, or when a gray sky hangs over a quiet street and you want something that feels both polished and grounded. The cacao and anise linger in the background, giving the floral heart a dry, masculine twist that separates it from typical fresh scents
