Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a sharp bergamot cut softened immediately by cool, powdery iris and a clean sea salt accord that reads more mineral than marine. Lavender threads through the heart without going barbershop, keeping things airy and slightly abstract. The dry-down is where it earns its depth — ambroxan amplifies the skin warmth while patchouli stays restrained, adding just enough earthiness to prevent the whole thing from floating away. Projection is moderate, sillage clean and close-wearing after two hours — a well-behaved presence rather than a statement. — Warm-weather office or casual wear; best on someone who wants fresh without smelling like a generic sport flanker.
Opens with a cool, slightly green iris that reads more mineral than floral, nudged along by a whisper of neroli and sage that keeps things from going stuffy. The heart settles into a powdery, almost suede-like softness where amber and geranium add quiet warmth without tipping into sweetness. Cedar and vetiver anchor the dry-down with a clean woodiness that stays close to the skin — projection is moderate, sillage polite rather than commanding. — Office-ready three seasons, built for anyone who wants clean and considered without disappearing entirely.
