Bergamot and peach add a light fruity sparkle, while grass, hay and fir draw a green line through it. Leather, tobacco and metallic notes leave a dry, animalic trace beneath that freshness. Amber, musk and vetiver round it all off on a woody base.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close more than from across the room. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Le Labo Bergamote 22 and Pekji Zeybek have a close profile.
