What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a sharp, slightly synthetic apple cut through by juniper and spearmint — green, fizzy, and unmistakably '90s masculine. The heart settles into aromatic pine and lavender, giving it a clean, almost barbershop edge that keeps things grounded without going stale. The dry-down is quiet oakmoss and white cedar with a whisper of sandalwood, projecting at moderate range with light-to-medium sillage that fades gracefully. Nothing brooding or heavy here — just crisp, outdoorsy freshness — Best worn casually in spring and summer by someone who wants to smell clean and effortlessly put-together without overthinking it.
