Notes, explained

Opening

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.

Heart

• Mysore Sandalwood The legendary Indian sandalwood. Richer and butterier than any substitute.
• Hinoki Japanese cypress. Lemony, calm and spa-like.

Dry-down

• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
