Acadian

Acadian by Pineward is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as yuzu, bergamot, juniper berry, ivy, eucalyptus, water lily, heliotrope, seaweed, cedarwood and oakmoss, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Listed notes

Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Ivy Cool, damp and shaded. Green without being sweet.
Eucalyptus Sharp, camphorous, clears the head. Reads as clean more than green.
Water Lily Watery floral. Soft, cool and slightly green.
Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
Seaweed Salty, green and faintly funky. Real coastline rather than a bottle of 'fresh'.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
