Fragrance notes
Character
Bergamot, neroli, lime, and basil open this masculine aromatic fougere with a bright, herbal citrus that feels clean and immediate. The basil gives the opening a green, slightly peppery edge that keeps the fruit from leaning sugary. Lavender enters soon after, soft and powdery, followed by oakmoss that adds a damp, earthy texture. Tonka bean rounds the heart with a gentle sweetness that sits close to the skin. The base settles into musk and amber, creating a warm, slightly resinous finish that carries the earlier freshness into a smoother, more settled state. Composed by Giovanni Festa and launched in 2022, the fragrance feels classic in structure but modern in its polished, wearable balance.
It suits someone who enjoys traditional fougere elements without the heaviness of older formulations. The citrus is vivid, the herbs are present, and the mossy lavender heart gives it a grounded, slightly formal character. Musk and amber in the base add comfort and a subtle golden glow. It works well in spring and summer, and it fits both casual days and occasions that call for a neat, composed presence. The overall impression is aromatic, green, and quietly confident. The closing accord is amber.
