Tough
Fragrance notes
Character
Tough suits a man who wants a straightforward scent for daily wear. It works well in casual settings and during the daytime. The fragrance feels grounded and practical rather than flashy. It fits someone who prefers classic masculine grooming over modern sweetness.
The opening combines fir, petitgrain, cardamom, orange, and lemon. The citrus provides a bright start while the fir adds a conifer edge. Cardamom brings a fresh spicy touch that keeps the introduction from feeling simple. It smells clean and outdoorsy at first.
Rosemary, jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley form the heart. The rosemary continues the aromatic feel while the white florals soften the sharper top notes. Jasmine and lily-of-the-valley add a gentle sweetness that balances the herbs. The rose sits quietly in the background.
Oakmoss, Brazilian rosewood, vetiver, and musk create the base. The oakmoss and vetiver give a mossy and woody foundation that feels dry. Brazilian rosewood adds a balsamic warmth. Musk smooths the finish. The final impression is a woody and mossy chypre.
