Fragrance structure
How it develops
It opens with Calabrian bergamot and mandarin, joined by ginger, pink pepper, spearmint, and a salty marine shimmer that makes the first impression feel brisk and almost sparkling. As the citrus settles, pineapple, vetiver, patchouli, and airy ozonic facets keep the heart fruity but dry rather than syrupy. The drydown moves into musk, birch, tonka, styrax, cedar, and sandalwood, leaving a clean woody trail with only a restrained smoky edge.
