The top notes bring bergamot, orange, lemon and grapefruit for citrus brightness, while sage and basil add a herbal coolness. In the heart, lavender, rose absolute and iris give it a floral, powdery side. The base of vetiver, patchouli, vanilla absolute and Australian sandalwood settles it into a woody, sweet finish.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. It mostly reads as masculine. Dior Dior Homme Cologne (2007) and Histoires de Parfums 1725 have a close profile.
