It opens with the crisp, clean scents of mandarin and tangerine. Notes of cardamom and black pepper add a lightness to the fragrance, becoming more pronounced upon contact with the skin. Beneath this lies the cooling sensation of lavender, subtly balanced by a comforting undertone. It is a clean, refreshing scent entirely devoid of citrusy sweetness.
It gradually transitions into a sophisticated woody profile featuring cedarwood, while oakmoss lends a distinctly masculine air.
While the spices create a cool impression right from the top notes, the inclusion of neroli spreads a pleasant freshness; the final impression evokes a classic masculine image. As a recreation of a fragrance originally launched in 1870, it carries a subtle vintage feel that exudes a sense of refinement.
On the skin, the spices are more prominent than expected—acting almost like leather—to create a cool, edgy impression.
