Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are dominated by a sharp, multifaceted citrus explosion. Yuzu and pink grapefruit provide a tart, slightly bitter edge, while ginger and pink pepper add a cold, sparkling spiciness. The juniper and wormwood introduce a gin-like botanical freshness almost immediately.
As the citruses settle after the first hour, the heart reveals a unique Mediterranean character. The note of gin becomes more pronounced, accompanied by the salty, savory tang of caper and the watery sweetness of prickly pear. A soft floral backdrop of lotus and pittosporum prevents the herbal notes from becoming too harsh.
In the final phase, the fragrance moves into a deeply green and earthy territory. The combination of oakmoss, pine, and vetiver creates a forest-floor effect, while the patchouli adds weight. The ambergris provides a subtle mineral saltiness that persists until the fragrance fades.
