Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
