Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Champagne Fizzing, bright and slightly yeasty. Celebration as a smell.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Orris Butter The expensive form of iris. Cold, buttery, faintly carrot and violet.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Dry-down
- Mysore Sandalwood The legendary Indian sandalwood. Richer and butterier than any substitute.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
