Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Heart
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
