Notes, explained
Opening
- Clementine Small, sweet and a bit candied. Very easy to wear.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
