What it smells like
The Scent File profile
Opens with a bright citrus burst of bergamot and mandarin that feels clean and slightly fizzy, softened almost immediately by a creamy orange blossom heart that keeps things from going too sharp. As it settles, cedar adds quiet structure while vetiver grounds it with a subtle earthiness that stops the florals from going feminine. The dry-down is smooth musk — skin-close, warm, and easy. Projection is moderate; sillage is polite rather than demanding, making it genuinely wearable without effort — a versatile warm-weather daily wear for men who want something presentable but not boring.
