Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
