Opens with a sharp, slightly bitter galbanum cut that clears fast, letting a clean, earthy vetiver take center stage within minutes. The heart is linear and composed — vetiver supported by dry cedar rather than pushed sweet or smoky. Sandalwood and amber soften the dry-down without turning it creamy, keeping the woody base cool and grounded. Projection is moderate and well-mannered; sillage stays close after a few hours, leaving a quiet musk trail. — Best in warm weather on anyone who wants a clean, no-fuss woody that reads polished without demanding attention.
