Notes, explained

Opening

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
• Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.

Dry-down

• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
• Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
