X by Riggs exists for the person who wants a forest walk without leaving the pavement. The opening pairs cypress and lemon in a way that feels like sunlight hitting resin on a tree trunk. It is not a juicy citrus burst, but a dry, needle-like brightness that stays close to the wood. Lavender enters soon after, softening the edges without turning the blend powdery. The result is a clean, upright scent that suggests open air and movement, making it an easy choice for a morning commute or a weekend errand when you want to feel composed.

The argument for wearing this outdoors rests on the base. Tonka bean and amber provide a gentle sweetness that keeps the pine and cedar from smelling like a cleaning product. This is where the fragrance shows its unisex balance. The amber adds a warm glow that sits against the skin, while the cedar offers a sturdy, dry foundation. It feels natural rather than synthetic, avoiding the harshness that often plagues aromatic blends. You get the comfort of a gourmand touch without the weight of a dessert.

Riggs has built a scent that prioritizes clarity over drama. It suits someone who appreciates a straightforward aromatic profile that does not demand attention but still smells intentional. If you usually reach for heavy oud or dark leather, this will feel too transparent for your taste. The composition stays faithful to its fresh spicy and woody accords, leaving a lasting impression of lavender and cedar.
