Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes: A sparkling effervescent burst of apple, mandarin, black currant, and bergamot. The fruity-citrus opening is bright and juicy, with a green undertone from black currant leaf. It feels modern and energetic.
1-2 hours: The heart reveals a herbaceous and aromatic blend of geranium, basil, wormwood, and patchouli. The freshness persists but gains a spicy, slightly bitter edge. The transition is smooth, with the fruits fading into a spicy-herbal bouquet.
4+ hours: The base of dry wood, moss, sandalwood, and musk anchors the composition. It becomes a warm, woody-musky skin scent with a subtle earthiness. The drydown is refined and comfortable, lingering close to the skin.
