Bergamot and pink pepper crack open bright and a little aggressive, with timur adding a tingly, citrus-forward buzz that keeps the opening lively rather than sharp. Rose and geranium ease in at the heart, green and slightly soapy, sitting comfortably beside blackcurrant's mild tartness without going fruity-sweet. The dry-down is where vetiver takes over cleanly — earthy, smoky, slightly medicinal — anchored by cedarwood and amberwood into something warm but never heavy. Projection is moderate; sillage stays close after the first hour. — A warm-weather office or casual outdoor fragrance, best suited to someone who wants vetiver without the full dirt-and-darkness commitment.
