Blue Jeans
A fresh woody gourmand fragrance built around bergamot, lemon, sage, cedar, musk. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Man Eau Fraiche
Opens with a sharp citrus burst — lemon and bergamot hit clean and bright, lifted by a quick cardamom spice that keeps it from going flat. The heart settles into cool, slightly herbal territory: sage and tarragon give it a green, almost aquatic edge without leaning watery. Cedar grounds the dry-down alongside amber and musk, landing somewhere warm but never heavy. Projection is polite, maybe a foot or two off skin, with a soft musk sillage that lingers three to five hours — A warm-weather staple for anyone who wants effortlessly clean and approachable over anything bold or complex.
