Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Amberwood Dry synthetic warmth, sharper than amber. Everywhere in modern masculines.
Dry-down
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
