Notes, explained

Listed notes

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
• Licorice Sweet anise with a dark, salty edge. Divisive and distinctive.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
