Which Should You Buy?
A woody-aromatic all-rounder, strong enough to last all day and clean enough for the office. Grapefruit and mint give a fresh lift, ginger and nutmeg add spice, and incense and cedar finish.
Grapefruit and mint lead into ginger, incense, vetiver and cedar: a polished, fresh-woody scent that takes its cue from Bleu de Chanel and works almost anywhere.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Citrus freshness over a warm woody base suits spring and autumn best. It can be worn all year, but intense summer humidity and deep winter cold are less kind to it.
Occasions
Office and formal settings are its strongest ground, and the woody drydown carries well on dates and casual days too. It is not a gym scent.
Seasons
Mint and grapefruit lift it through spring and summer, while ginger, incense and vetiver give it carry into autumn and winter. Few scents manage all four seasons this evenly.
Occasions
The mint keeps the woods from feeling heavy by day, and the incense and vetiver add enough finish for a dinner. That range is why office, dates, weekends and formal events all work.
