Grapefruit and a marine accord start things cold, clean and sharp. There is no sweetness here. It is a burst of citrus and sea air that feels instantly awake, and the house says it projects well in the first two hours. Bay leaf arrives in the heart and adds a green, herbal edge so the opening does not go flat. Jasmine follows quietly and keeps the middle clean rather than floral. The dry-down is where the character settles. Guaiac wood, patchouli and ambergris make a dry, woody base that stays close to skin, with a smooth trail through the afternoon. The woods read more clearly once the air cools, so evenings suit the finish. This is an aquatic woody scent for men. It is a natural fit for the office, the gym bag, daytime wear and casual evenings, and it holds its shape across most of the year. The house makes it at eau de parfum strength, so it should last noticeably longer than a light sport spray. Bottom line: a bright, energetic grapefruit and wood fragrance that is simple to wear and hard to dislike.
