Curated by the Scent File Editor

What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Crisp and clean from the first spray, with lemon and bergamot hitting bright and citrus-sharp before a cool mint accord sharpens the opening further — almost medicinal in the best way. The heart softens as cedarwood grounds the freshness without turning woody or heavy. The dry-down is where ambroxan takes over, adding a skin-close warmth and that signature slightly synthetic-smooth depth that lifts projection well above average for a fresh fragrance. Sillage is generous but never loud — it announces rather than dominates. — Made for warm-weather office wear or daytime social settings; the kind of clean that reads groomed without effort.
