The top notes of grapefruit, green mandarin orange and basil start fresh, green and lightly spicy. In the heart, green apple adds a fruity crispness while cannabis brings an earthy depth. The base of myrrh, sandalwood, white musk and oakmoss lays down a woody, resinous ground, and the scent turns drier and more earthy as it settles. It has been discontinued, and its balance suits anyone, whatever their gender.
