Notes, explained

Opening

• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Dry-down

• Castoreum Leathery, smoky and warm. Adds depth and a bit of danger.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
