This fragrance opens with a bright, clean burst of lemon, bergamot, and mandarin orange, creating an invigorating citrus blast that is both refreshing and subtly sweet—like lemon dish soap with a hint of floral blossom, but never overly soapy or artificial. Over time, it gently dries down into a delicate woody-musky base with cedar and oakmoss, maintaining a faint leathery-softness that lingers close to the skin. The scent remains true to its character throughout, with the citrus note persisting long after the initial burst, though it fades gradually rather than abruptly. It performs best in spring and summer, especially during daytime hours, where its moderate sillage and discreet nature allow it to feel effortless and gentlemanly. While not explosive in projection, its longevity is surprisingly good—lasting well beyond a typical citrus cologne—making it a subtle yet enduring choice, especially for those who value refinement over boldness.
