Fragrance structure
How it develops
The opening is all sunlight — grapefruit and bergamot cracked wide, with blackcurrant bud lending a tart green bite that stops the citrus turning sugary. Green mandarin carries that brightness forward while geranium adds a crisp, faintly metallic snap through the middle. Vetiver rises steadily underneath, rooty and dry, and the finish belongs to cashmere wood and an ambergris accord: smooth, slightly saline, warming the citrus down rather than replacing it.
