Scent Journey
First 0-30 minutes: cannabis and grapefruit lead with a fresh spicy, aromatic lift. The grapefruit is noticeable but not sugary, while the cannabis reads green, herbal, and slightly smoky.
1-2 hours: black pepper and geranium move forward. The scent becomes spicier, greener, and more aromatic, while the cannabis note remains blended into the heart.
4+ hours: leather and vetiver dominate. The finish is woody, earthy, smoky, and animalic, with reviewer consensus reporting 8+ hour longevity.
