- Description
- A more substantial take on the classic cologne idea, opening with citron, lemon, bergamot, and lime before moving into rosemary, verbena, lavender, and orange blossom. Neroli, ambrette, iris, and benzoin give the base a soft ambered-powder quality that makes it warmer and longer-lived than the house’s brighter colognes. It feels clean and citric at first, then settles into a refined musky-resinous skin scent.
