Opens with a sharp, slightly bitter grapefruit that burns off quickly, making way for cardamom adding a dry, faintly spiced warmth. The heart is where vetiver takes command — cool, smoky, and earthy without going dirty — anchored by cedarwood that keeps everything structured and upright. Oakmoss in the dry-down adds a subtle green, almost powdery depth. Projection is moderate and well-behaved; sillage stays close rather than announcing itself. A clean, composed masculine that wears like a second skin by hour three — ideal for office environments and transitional-weather days when you want presence without performance.
