502

502 starts sharp and clean. Citrus and spice arrive together, bright and confident, with a lift that gets noticed straight away. Bergamot and grapefruit follow in the heart, a little fresher and softer, and they make the fragrance feel personal and easy to wear before the base arrives. The dry-down is the main event. Saffron, artemisia and cypress needles give it a warm, slightly earthy, resinous depth that stays close to the skin once the brighter notes have gone. The house describes the mood as dark and grounded, and the base backs that up. It is sold as unisex, and nothing in the structure pulls toward one side. It suits autumn and winter best, though the citrus opening lets it work in spring too. Wear it on evenings, date nights and any time you want a bit of presence. The house quotes six to eight hours on skin for a full eau de parfum, and pulse points give the best projection. Bottom line: a spiced, woody scent with a bright start and a long, warm finish.
