What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with sharp grapefruit and lemon cut through by a cool flash of mint and a bite of pink pepper — brisk and clean without smelling like soap. The heart settles into a smooth incense accord that gives it some weight and character, pushing it away from generic fresh-fougère territory. The dry-down is warm sandalwood that reads refined rather than heavy, with soft projection and a sillage that stays close to skin after a few hours — present but never loud. — Office-friendly, year-round outside of deep winter, best suited to someone who wants a polished, crowd-safe daily driver with enough depth to avoid feeling disposable.
