Opens with a bright, slightly tart citrus burst — bergamot and grapefruit — that feels clean without being generic, backed immediately by the green, slightly soapy edge of violet leaf. The heart settles into cool iris with just enough powderiness to read as sophisticated rather than old-fashioned, while cedar starts shaping the structure underneath. The dry-down is where vetiver and musk take over: earthy, understated, faintly smoky. Projection is moderate and sillage stays close to skin — this wears like something you'd notice on someone, not across a room — A polished daily wear for cooler months, best suited to someone who wants green-floral with woody roots and zero showiness.
