What It Smells Like

It opens with a quiet aromatic haze, herbaceous and slightly green. A transparent honey note rises quickly, more nectar than candy. The heart stays sleek and airy, with violet leaf and pepper adding lift and dryness. In the dry-down, smooth woods and musk take over, with guaiac and patchouli giving a warm, refined trail.

Who Is It For

Marketed for men, but it wears comfortably unisex. Great for someone who wants warmth without heaviness.

When to Wear

Best in fall and winter, plus cool spring days. Ideal for office and evening.
