Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes are dominated by a juicy, slightly tart pineapple note, immediately brightened by a sharp kick of black pepper and the crisp, gin-like freshness of juniper berries. This combination creates an invigorating and slightly fruity-spicy introduction that feels energetic and modern.
After about 1-2 hours, the heart emerges with the smooth, woody-amber warmth of cashmeran, supported by the herbal, slightly earthy aroma of sage and a subtle floral touch from geranium. This phase is where the fragrance becomes more rounded and sophisticated, balancing the initial brightness with a creamy, almost suede-like texture.
In the drydown (4+ hours), the base notes take over: a sweet, comforting vanilla blends with soft leather, creamy sandalwood, and a hint of earthy patchouli. The result is a warm, slightly powdery, and musky finish that sits close to the skin but remains noticeable for hours, leaving a cozy and masculine trail.
