Fragrance notes
Character
Grapefruit leads the opening with a sharp, sunny bite that feels immediate and clean. Coriander and basil follow closely, adding a green, slightly peppery edge that keeps the citrus from leaning sweet. The start is bright and energetic, moving quickly into a heart where orange blossom brings a soft white floral lift. Ginger and cardamom add a warm, slightly tingling spice that sits comfortably beside the herbs. It smells composed and purposeful rather than flashy, with a clear structure that unfolds in layers.
The drydown settles into amber and tobacco, but the transition stays light on its feet. The tobacco is smooth and a little dry, never heavy or overly smoky, while the amber gives a gentle golden warmth that ties the spices together. It carries a polished, well-groomed character that suits a man who wants presence without weight. The overall impression is aromatic and herbal with a fresh spicy core, making it approachable and versatile rather than loud or challenging.
This is a scent for bright mornings and open air, the kind of fragrance that fits a crisp shirt and a busy schedule. It feels at home in a sunlit office or on a weekend walk through a market, offering a clean, confident trail that stays close and personal. It suits someone who likes citrus and spice but wants them refined and tidy. The composition is composed by Urs Castelletti and wears like a narrow path through a grove of citrus trees where basil grows wild between the trunks.
