What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Bergamot and grapefruit hit clean and sharp in the opening — bright, slightly tart, more like squeezed citrus peel than a candy interpretation. The heart softens that edge with white tea, pulling it toward a cool, faintly mineral quietness that reads almost aquatic without leaning salty. Cedarwood and white musk carry the dry-down: pale, skin-close, genuinely clean rather than soapy. Projection is modest throughout; this wears like a second skin rather than announcing itself across a room, with soft sillage that lingers without demanding attention — Made for warm weather and office settings, or anyone who wants to smell freshly showered without smelling like a product.
