Scent Development and Character
A fresh aromatic fougère built around a crisp citrus-spicy opening, a cool herbal heart, and a dry woody amber base. Bergamot, ginger, and apple give the first impression a bright, juicy lift; sage, juniper berries, and geranium add an aromatic, clean-cut center; amberwood, cedar, vetiver, tonka bean, and olibanum leave a smooth, modern trail.

Best in spring and autumn, with workable year-round versatility. Sillage is Moderate sillage with a clean, noticeable trail that stays polished rather than loud.
