Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Verbena Lemon crossed with crushed herbs. Smells like expensive soap.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Fennel Sweet anise with a green bite. Softer than star anise.
Dry-down
- Matcha Green tea thickened up — creamy, vegetal, faintly nutty.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
