Forte

A man walking along a boardwalk with the sun on his skin reaches for this bottle. The scene is bright, open, and full of air.

Lime and citron hit first with a sharp, juicy clarity. Bergamot smooths the edges while cedar needles add a dry, green prickliness. The salt in the heart smells like ocean spray caught on a breeze. White flowers bring a soft, slightly powdery brightness that never turns heavy. Ginger adds a warm, fresh bite that keeps the middle from feeling too smooth.

Ambergris gives a warm, animalic glow that sits close to the skin. Vetiver grounds the blend with an earthy, rooty woodiness. White musk finishes it with a clean, slightly powdery softness. The overall impression is citrus and wood wrapped in a salty, amber haze.

Choose this for a weekend morning near the water or a bright afternoon outdoors. It fits someone who wants a fresh scent with an earthy, animalic backbone.
