Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Civet Sharp, faecal and intense on its own. In trace amounts it makes florals glow.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
