Scent Journey
A bracing, gin-like blast of juniper berries and sharp cypress, evoking the scent of a coniferous forest after a rain shower.
The fragrance settles into a clean, refined heart of lavender and dry cedar, grounded by the earthy, smoky nuances of vetiver.
A soft, lingering base of smooth vanilla and white musk that provides a comforting, skin-like finish with a subtle woody resonance.
Performance Dashboard
Lasts a respectable 8-10 hours on fabric, though it becomes a skin scent after the 6-hour mark.
Projects at about an arm's length for the first two hours, then settles closer to the body.
Moderate; it leaves a sophisticated trail that is noticeable to those in your immediate personal space.
