Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The opening delivers a punchy, masculine blend of spicy pink pepper with bitter, rindy citrus notes from yuzu and grapefruit. It's an energizing and rugged introduction that is fresh and vibrant.
Around the 15-minute mark, the heart notes emerge with a salty, almost aquatic vibe from the sea notes, complemented by a subtle green touch from violet leaf. This phase maintains freshness while hinting at the warmer base.
The drydown is where this concentration truly shines, with amber, amberwood, and guaiac wood blending into a smooth, cozy, and slightly smoky vanilla-wood finish. It feels inviting and polished, offering a more refined and expensive character.
Performance Dashboard
Lasts 7-9 hours on skin, longer on clothing.
Moderate projection for the first 2-3 hours, then settles closer.
Creates a noticeable scent bubble without being overpowering.
