Trajan
Trajan by Electimuss is an unisex extrait de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with mandarin, lemon, bergamot and blood orange, moves into lavender, sage and saffron and dries down to cedarwood, oakmoss and ambergris. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
