Opens with a bright, slightly bitter bergamot cut through by neroli's clean, faintly soapy citrus — together they read as sunlit Mediterranean air rather than fruit bowl. The heart is where ambroxan takes over, delivering that warm, skin-close, slightly mineral depth that's become a signature of modern woody aquatics. Cedar grounds it without going sharp or dry. Sillage is moderate; it sits close to the skin by mid-wear, projecting softly rather than announcing itself. The dry-down is smooth, musky, and genuinely pleasant for hours — Easy, warm-weather skin scent for someone who wants effortless rather than complex.
