Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with an aggressive, clean burst of grapefruit and lemon rind, tempered by a cooling, medicinal mint accord.
The heart reveals a sophisticated synthetic clarity, driven by Iso E Super, supported by the warmth of ginger and a faint, spicy floral whisper of jasmine.
The base settles into a smooth, resinous amber-woody profile, where incense and cedar provide a clean yet persistent trail that lasts for hours.
Performance Dashboard
8-10 hours on skin, significantly longer on textiles.
Projects well within an arm's length for the first 3 hours before settling closer.
Moderate; leaves a polite, clean scent trail without overwhelming a room.
