Notes, explained
Opening
- Star Anise Liquorice-like and cool. Sweet but not sugary.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Almond Marzipan and cherry-stone. Sweet with a bitter undertone.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
