What it actually smells like

Bergamot and ginger give the opening a clean, energetic freshness, sharpened by black pepper and the citrusy spice of Timut pepper. Petitgrain and neroli keep the middle crisp and aromatic, while akigalawood, labdanum and benzoin add a warm, slightly resinous base. It stays fresh and polished, but never feels thin or overly sharp.

Who this is for

Ideal if you want a smart, modern fresh fragrance that feels put-together without being formal. It works especially well for office wear, warm weather and anyone who likes freshness with more depth than a simple citrus scent.

Not for you if

You prefer sweet, creamy or heavily woody fragrances with very little citrus or spice.
