Opens with a bright bergamot-and-pineapple fizz that settles quickly into a clean, slightly soapy lavender heart lifted by geranium. The apple reads less like fruit and more like a cool, slightly tart freshness that keeps the whole thing from going barbershop. Dry-down is where it earns its reputation: oakmoss and sandalwood ground everything into a smooth, muted woody base with quiet, close-to-skin sillage.
