Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Heart
- Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Birch Clean pale wood. The leaves, not the tar.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
