Opens with a sharp bergamot lift that quickly softens into a cool, slightly astringent oolong tea accord — realistic enough to smell like a freshly brewed cup rather than a candy interpretation. The green tea note reinforces that slightly bitter, vegetal edge through the heart, keeping things clean without going soapy. Dry-down is where white musk and ambroxan take over, smoothing the astringency into a warm, skin-close finish with subtle depth. Projection is moderate; sillage is refined rather than loud — a close-wearing, educated fragrance — best suited for warm-weather office wear or anyone who finds most aquatics too synthetic.
