What does Bitters / 苦尽橙 smell like?
The citrus and fruity side leads: bitter orange and honey pomelo come first, and black pepper adds a slight sharpness to that brightness. In the heart, frankincense, benzoin, fir and geranium build a green, resinous depth, and the citrus freshness softens toward a woody, earthy footing. In the base, cedarwood, patchouli and amber settle the scent into something warm and woody. Balanced between fresh and earthy, it suits men and women alike. Khadlaj Valor Chivalry and Police Instinct have a close profile.
