02 MOUNT
A sharp woody citrus built around sansho pepper: brisk mandarin, lime, and grapefruit lead into green-spicy sansho over herbal maté and petitgrain, drying down to a textured woody-leather base with a rose-tinged woody accord.
Scent Development and Character
A vivid **woody citrus** composition built around Japanese sansho pepper, 02 MOUNT opens with sparkling mandarin, lime, and grapefruit that feel bright and slightly bitter. As it develops, the green-spicy snap of sansho threads through citronella, petitgrain, and maté tea, giving a sharp, aromatic tension over a drier base. The drydown settles into a textured mix of woods and leather with a rose-tinted woody accord, turning the brisk citrus into a deeper, slightly smoky woody-citrus trail.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
On skin, 02 MOUNT starts bright and assertive, with a crisp grapefruit-lime bite that quickly intertwines with the distinctive, tingling bitterness of sansho. Within an hour the citrus softens, leaving a green, peppery heart accented by citronella and maté that reads modern and slightly edgy rather than cozy. The base emerges as a dry woody-leather accord with a subtle rose-woody hue, making the fragrance feel more structured and urban, suited to daytime wear, creative work settings, or casual evenings where a clean yet unconventional woody-citrus statement is desired. The sharp citrus and green peppery heart make 02 MOUNT versatile in mild to warm weather, working well in spring and summer, while the leather-woody base and spicy sansho give it particular appeal in crisp autumn air; it is less suited to very cold mid-winter wear unless layered. Sillage is Projection is moderate, with a noticeable aura in the first few hours from the vivid citrus and sansho, then settling closer to the skin as the woody-leather base takes over. Longevity is Moderate longevity around 6–8 hours on skin, with the bright citrus opening fading faster and the peppery-woody-leather base lingering more softly toward the end. These are editorial estimates derived from the official composition and concentration and will vary with skin and climate.
