About

Imagine a burst of sharp, zesty lime and grapefruit, like a freshly cut citrus straight from the tree. This bracing opening quickly settles into a more grounded experience, with the earthy, mossy richness of oakmoss and vetiver providing a sophisticated counterpoint to the vibrant fruit. It transitions from a bright, aromatic sparkle to a classic, dry, woody finish.
