The Embrace
The Embrace by Navitus Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, bergamot and sesame, moves into honey and coffee and dries down to cedarwood, haitian vetiver and vanilla. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Sesame Toasted, nutty and a little savoury.
Heart
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
