Notes, explained
Opening
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Heart
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
