Fragrance structure
How it develops
Pink pepper and lemon arrive first, with bergamot and grapefruit sharpening the air without making it bright or sporty. Cedar soon takes command, joined by angelica and galbanum that add a dry green lift and a faintly bitter edge. In the drydown, sandalwood smooths the grain while musk and a quiet oud accent deepen the structure. The scent develops from crisp spice into polished, dry woods, never turning syrupy or aggressively smoky.
