Fragrance Notes and Experience
Top notes open with a crisp, mouth-watering blend of green apple, bergamot, and a touch of zesty ginger. The apple provides a bright, contemporary sweetness that feels fresh and approachable, while bergamot adds a sunny citrus lift and ginger introduces a subtle spicy kick for immediate impact.
Heart notes unfold a refined herbal-woody core: sage lends a cool, aromatic bloom; juniper berries contribute a crisp, resinous lift; geranium adds a green, slightly floral facet that keeps the scent balanced between sharp and sophisticated.
Base notes settle into a warm, elegant finish: amberwood provides creamy, resinous woodiness; tonka bean brings a gentle vanilla-almond warmth; cedar adds dry structure; vetiver adds an earthy, green depth; olibanum (frankincense) introduces a quiet resinous glow that leaves a memorable, lasting trail.
How to Use
- Apply to clean, dry skin after a shower or before heading out to maximize diffusion and longevity.
- Spray onto pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears from a comfortable distance (about 15–20 cm) to ensure even distribution.
- Do not rub the fragrance into the skin; allow it to air-dry to preserve the scent’s natural projection.
- A light mist on the chest or over the shoulders can help project your presence without overpowering others.
- Pair with a matching grooming routine (aftershave or body product) when available to extend longevity and maintain a cohesive aroma profile.
