Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
