What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a bright, slightly tart citrus burst cut through by a sharp bite of ginger — clean and immediate without being sweet. The heart softens quickly into cedar, giving it a dry, woody structure that keeps things grounded rather than pretty. The dry-down is where it earns its reputation: sandalwood and amber settle into a warm, skin-close haze, with musk holding everything together. Projection is moderate; sillage lingers without announcing itself — A year-round daily driver for someone who wants to smell put-together without trying too hard.
