Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes is a burst of juicy orange and grapefruit, sharpened by a mineral flint spark. It feels clean, bright, and slightly bitter in the best way.
After 1-2 hours, pelargonium and pepper add a rosy-spicy, almost metallic texture. The flint note keeps it dry and grounded rather than sweet.
At 4+ hours, vetiver takes center stage: smoky, earthy, and grassy, wrapped in patchouli, cedar, and a soft benzoin sweetness. The finish is warm, woody, and refined.
Performance Dashboard
Long lasting (per user reviews); many report 8-10 hours on skin, longer on clothing.
Moderate; projects about arm's length for the first few hours.
Moderate; leaves a subtle scent trail without filling a room.
